PRDC
2005 is the eleventh in this series of
symposia started in 1989 that are devoted to dependable and
fault tolerant computing. PRDC is now recognized as the main
regular event of the Pacific area that is covering the many
dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing
fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental
projects, and commercial components and systems. As
applications of computing systems have permeated in every
aspects of daily life, the dependability of computing system
has become increasingly critical. This symposium provides a
forum for countries around the Pacific Rim and other areas of
the world to exchange ideas for improving the dependability of
computing systems The symposium will be organized by the Hunan
University in the historical City of Changsha, the capital
city of Hunan Province in south central China. The origin of
the Hunan University was the Yuelu Academy founded in Song
Dynasty, which was an important center for the
Neo-Confucianism study and has profound influence on the
Chinese philosophy for the last 1000 years. In addition, the
Hunan province has numerous sightseeing spots, including the
Yueyang Tower built in Song Dynasty, Mawangdui archeological
site from Han Dynasty, Mao Zedong's birthplace Shaoshen, and
China's first national forest park Zhang Jia Jie. The
conference will be held at Grand Sun City Hotel, a five-star
hotel in Changsha city
Topics
of interest include (but are not limited to):
-
Software and hardware reliability, testing, verification and
validation
- Dependability measurement, modeling and
evaluation
- Safety-critical systems and software
-
Architecture and system design for dependability
- Fault
tolerant algorithms and protocols
- Tools for design and
evaluation of dependable systems
- Reliability in Internet and
Web systems and applications
- Dependability issues in
computer networks and communications
- Dependability issues in
distributed and parallel systems

Manuscripts
should be submitted in the following categories: Regular
Papers and Practical Experience Reports. Regular Papers should
describe original research (not submitted or published
elsewhere) and be not more than 20 double-spaced pages
including figures and tables using 11-point type. Practical
Experience Reports (of 5-12 pages) should describe an
experience or a case study, such as the design and deployment
of a system or actual failure and recovery field data. The
title page should include a 150-word abstract, five keywords,
authors' names and address and include a line specifying
whether the submission is a Regular Paper or a Practical
Experience Report. The full mailing address, phone, fax and
email address of the corresponding author should be specified.
All submissions must be made electronically. Additional
submission opportunities are also possible at a later deadline
under the form of Fast Abstracts. Please visit our web site
