Additional details to substantiate the main claims of the paper, such as proofs, data tables or code snippets can be included in a clearly marked appendix beyond the page limit, and read at the reviewers\u2019 discretion.

It is recognized that, at times, information regarding the identities of authors may become public outside the submission process (e.g., if a preprint is published as a technical report or on a preprint server). The PC will ignore this external information. Minimally, please take the following steps when preparing your submission:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title page;<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Remove acknowledgment of identifying names and funding sources;<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Use care when referring to related work, particularly your own. Do not omit references <\/span><span><\/span><span>to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. <\/span><span><\/span><span>Instead, reference your past work in the third person, just as you would any other <\/span><span><\/span><span>piece of related work by another author.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>Submissions that do not conform to the above anonymization and formatting guidelines (e.g., are too long, use fonts or line spacing smaller than what is indicated) or are unoriginal, previously published, or under submission to multiple venues concurrently, will be desk rejected without review.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance. Evaluation criteria include originality, technical soundness, significance of the contribution, and clarity of the presentation, as well as the quality and completeness of the substantiation of the paper\u2019s claims, whether formal, analytical or experimental.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you have any questions regarding paper submission, please do not hesitate to contact the conference PC Chairs:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Aleksey Charapko, University of New Hampshire<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Sara Tucci Piergiovanni, CEA List \u2013 Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Submissions site: <a href=\"https:\/\/hotcrp.inesctec.pt\/srds26\/\">https:\/\/hotcrp.inesctec.pt\/srds26\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Topics of Interest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span>The major areas of interest include the following topics:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Dependability, security, and privacy of distributed systems including, but not limited to, cloud, high-performance; fog, edge and cloud-to-device computing; distributed data storage and processing; distributed machine learning and AI; distributed ledgers and blockchain systems; safety-critical distributed systems; Internet of Things, vehicular, robotic, cyber-physical, and mobile systems;<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Techniques and algorithms advancing the state-of-the-art in fault tolerance, fault recovery, robustness, self-stabilization, self-healing, security, scalability, and real-time for distributed systems.
