# Call for Papers #

The 38th IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS
2019) is a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in distributed
systems design, development and evaluation, with emphasis on reliability,
availability, safety, dependability, security, and real-time. We welcome
Research Papers describing original research as well as design, development and
experimental results of operational systems, Practical Experience Reports
describing ongoing industrial projects, prototype systems and exploratory or
emerging applications, and Tool Papers describing architecture, implementation
and usage of substantive tools to aid the research and practice of reliable
distributed systems. Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each
category.

The authors of the best ranked papers of SRDS will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing.

## Topics of Interest ##

The major areas of interest include the following topics:

* Dependability, security and privacy of distributed systems including, but not
  limited to, cloud, high-performance, fog, and edge computing; distributed data
  storage and processing; distributed machine learning and AI; safety-critical
  distributed systems; Internet of Things, vehicular, robotic, cyber-physical
  and mobile systems.

* Techniques and algorithms advancing the state-of-the-art in fault tolerance,
  fault recovery, robustness, self-stabilization, self-healing, scalability, and
  real-time for distributed systems. These include, but are not limited to,
  coordination, replication, failure prediction and detection, microservices,
  transactions, and blockchains.

* Methods and tools for the design, implementation, verification, validation,
  and operation of dependable and secure distributed applications, middleware,
  operating systems and hardware.

* Analytical, simulative and experimental assessment of dependable and secure
  distributed systems, in particular, when in real settings or with real data
  and in large scale and complex environments.

## Important Dates ##

* Abstract Submission: April 19, 2019
* Full Paper Submission: April 26, 2019
* Notification to Authors: June 21, 2019
* Camera-Ready: July 12, 2019
* SRDS 2019: October 1-4, 2019

## Submission ##

Papers must be written in English. Research Papers, Practical Experience
Reports, and Tool Papers should be no longer than 10 pages, following the IEEE
two-column format for conference proceedings. All necessary details to
substantiate the main claims of the paper should be included in a clearly marked
appendix. Authors are requested to first register their submissions and then
submit their manuscripts in PDF format at the Easychair page at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=srds2019

## Best Papers ##

All accepted papers SRDS will compete for the "Prof. C. V. Ramamoorthy Best Paper Award". The SRDS Best Paper is named after Prof. Chittoor V. Ramamoorthy, who was instrumental in the 80’s for the success of SRDS, many of his former students have also significantly contributed to the conference.

In addition, the authors of the best ranked papers of SRDS will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing.

## General Chairs ##

* Sara Bouchenak, INSA Lyon, France
* Sonia Ben Mokhtar, CNRS, Lyon, France

## Technical Program Committee Chairs ##

* Evgenia Smirni, College of William and Mary, USA
* Jose Orlando Pereira, U. Minho and INESCTEC, Portugal

## Venue ##

SRDS 2019 will be held at INSA Lyon, Campus La Doua, Lyon, France, October 1-4, 2019.
