==============CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline Extension)=================
29th IEEE Pacific Rim International Conference on Dependable Computing
(PRDC 2024)
Osaka, Japan
November 13-15, 2024

*** Important Dates ***
 - Abstract submission: July 31st, 2024 (AoE)
 - Paper submission: August 7th, 2024 (AoE)

PRDC 2024 is the 29th event in a series of symposia started in 1989
devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing; it encompasses
fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects,
and commercial components and systems. This symposium is recognized as
the main event in the Pacific Rim area, and it provides a forum for
countries around the world to exchange ideas for improving the
dependability of computing systems.

*** Topics of interest include (but not limited to) ***

- Software and hardware reliability, resilience, safety, security,
testing, verification, and validation
- Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools
- Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems
- Architecture and system design for dependability
- Prognostics in Complex Systems
- Reliability analysis of Complex Systems
- Fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols
- Cloud computing resiliency, security and privacy
- Software defined networks architectures and protocols
- Dependability issues in computing systems (e.g. computer networks
and communications, high performance computing, real-time systems,
storage and databases systems, cyber-physical systems, socio-technical
systems, and blockchain and smart contracts).
- Emerging technologies (autonomous systems including autonomous
vehicles, human machine teaming, smart devices/Internet of Things)

*** Submission and Publication Information ***

Manuscripts should use the IEEE double-column format in 10 pages for
full papers and 6 pages for short papers. The references are not
included in the page limit. Regardless of full or short papers, the
authors can choose either one of the following two submission
categories: (i) Regular Research Papers and (ii) Practical Experience
Reports.
Regular Research Papers should describe original research (not
submitted or published elsewhere).
Practical Experience Reports should describe an experience or a case
study, such as the design and deployment of a system or actual failure
and recovery field data.

- All submissions must be made electronically (in PDF format) on the
submission website. Please note that all submissions will undergo a
double-blind review. Please ensure that you have removed any
references that could lead to identifying the authors of the paper.
Failure to do so may result in the rejection of the paper regardless
of the paper's contributions. Papers will be reviewed internationally
and selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and
clarity of presentation. All accepted papers will be published by the
IEEE Computer Society Press (EI Indexed).

*** Paper Award ***

    One outstanding paper will be selected to receive the Best Paper
Award, and one outstanding paper first-authored by a student will
receive the Best Student Paper Award. A few excellent papers will be
recommended to have their extended versions submitted to an
international journal. The name of the Journal will be announced
later.
