Call for Papers - SRDS 2024
*****************************************************************************************
The 43rd International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS
2024)
September 30 - October 04, 2024
Charlotte, USA
https://srds-conference.org/
*****************************************************************************************
The 43rd International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS 2024) is
a forum
for researchers and practitioners interested in distributed systems design,
development
and evaluation, with an emphasis on reliability, availability, safety,
dependability,
security, verification, and real-time aspects.
We welcome the following types of submissions:
* research papers, describing original research as well as design, development
and
experimental results of distributed systems;
* practical experience reports describing ongoing industrial projects,
prototype systems
and exploratory or emerging applications;
* Tool papers describing architecture, implementation and usage of substantive
tools to
support research, development and operation of reliable distributed systems.
Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each category.
# Important dates
*****************
(All deadlines are at 23:59 AOE)
* Abstract Submission: April 26th, 2024
* Full Paper Submission: May 3rd, 2024
* Notification to Authors: June 24th, 2024
* Camera-Ready and author registration: July 5th, 2024
* Conference dates: September 30 - October 4, 2024
# Paper submission
******************
Papers must be written in English. Research Papers, Practical Experience
Reports, and
Tool Papers should be no longer than 10 pages, *excluding references* for which
there's
no page limit, following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings.
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’ discretion. Authors are requested to
first
register their submissions with a title and abstract, and then submit their
manuscripts
in PDF format at the submission page.
All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance
through
double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from
the
reviewers. As an author, you are required to make a good-faith effort to
preserve the
anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to
fully
grasp the context of related past work, including your own. 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:
* Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title page.
* Remove acknowledgement of identifying names and funding sources.
* Use care in referring to related work, particularly your own. Do not omit
references
to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the
context.
Instead, reference your past work in the third person, just as you would any
other
piece of related work by another author.
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 are under submission to multiple venues
concurrently,
will be desk rejected without review.
If you have any questions regarding paper submission, please do not hesitate to
contact the
conference PC Chairs:
* Silvia Bonomi [email protected]
* Murat Demirbas [email protected]
Submissions site: TBD

# 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 Award
******************
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.
