The Eighth International Workshop on
Assurance in Distributed Systems and Networks (ADSN 2009)
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, June 26, 2009
http://adsn.nets.ce.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp/
New: ADSN Journal Special Issue
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on
Distributed Processing
in cooperation with IEICE Technical Committee on Information Networks and IEICE
Technical Committee on Dependable Computing (Pending)
This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 29th International
Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009)
(http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/icdcs2009/ICDCS_2009.html)
The objective of the Workshop
is to provide an effective forum for original scientific and engineering
advances in Assurance in Distributed Systems and Networks. Along with recent
rapid growth of the Internet and ubiquitous networks, autonomous decentralized
systems are connected with each other. In these distributed systems and
networks, heterogeneous requirements are independently generated and the
requirements themselves are frequently changing. Assurance in these distributed
systems and networks is defined as capability of guaranteeing functional and
nonfunctional system properties such as dependability, security, timeliness and
adaptivity to heterogeneous and changing
requirements. The workshop theme is critical in meeting ever more demanding
requirements for assurance in systems and networks, especially in the future
Internet and ubiquitous networks. Technologies supporting assurance including
integration of various technologies such as real time, fault tolerance,
autonomy, mobility and intelligence will have to be incorporated in complex
distributed systems and networks.
Topics of interest for this
workshop include, but are not limited to:
ˇ
Agents technologies for assurance.
ˇ
Assurance of grid and cooperative systems.
ˇ
Heterogeneous
coexistence techniques.
ˇ
Network control
(QoS, CoS, etc) technologies for assurance.
ˇ
Real-time
technology for assurance systems.
ˇ
Security issues
for information warfare.
ˇ
Self-stabilization
and sensor networks.
ˇ
Service-Oriented and Web service-based computing
systems.
ˇ
Software and
hardware technologies (E-commerce, Intelligent transport system, Train control,
Space computer) for assurance.
ˇ
System
life-cycle, specification, design, implementation, testing, verification, and
validation techniques of assurance.
ˇ
System management
techniques for assurance.
ˇ
Techniques for
achieving high dependability in complex systems.
