*****************************************************************************

The 27th Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing
                                  (PRDC 2022)

                   November 28  - December 1, 2022
                                Beijing, China

*****************************************************************************
PRDC 2022 is the twenty-seventh event in a series of symposia started in
1989 devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing. PRDC is recognized
as the main event in the Pacific area that covers 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 into all aspects of daily life, the
dependability
of computing systems 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.

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 may be submitted in IEEE double-column format to one of the
following two categories: (i) Regular Papers and (ii) Practical Experience
Reports.
Regular Papers (10 pages, excluding references and appendices) should
describe
original research (not submitted or published elsewhere).
Practical Experience Reports (6 pages, excluding references and appendices)
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
      https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=XDVt4Ata85TEA3Lyw3g1m5

Please note that all submissions will undergo a double-blind review. Please
ensure
that you have removed any references that could lead to the disclosure of
the
authors' identities. Failing to do so may result in rejection of the paper
regardless
of the paper 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).
Submission of a contribution to the track indicates agreement to have one
author
present the work, if accepted, at the conference.


*****************************************************************************
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.
