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, micro-services, transactions, and blockchains;
- Methods and tools for designing, implementing, verifying, validating, and operating dependable and secure distributed applications, middleware, operating systems, virtual machines, and hardware;
- Analytical, simulative, and experimental assessment of dependable and secure distributed systems, particularly when in real-world settings or with real-world data and in large-scale and complex environments.
Best Paper Awards
Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. To be eligible for the best student paper award, at least one of the paper authors must be a full-time student at the time of submission, and the student(s) must have made a significant contribution to the paper. The latter should be indicated at submission time.
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 in the success of SRDS, many of his former students have also significantly contributed to the conference.
