Call for Papers - PhD Forum - 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.
The Ph.D. Forum provides an opportunity for graduate students working in
research areas
related to reliable distributed systems to present their problem statement,
research
methods and planned contributions, and to receive high-quality feedback and
guidance from
established researchers and other graduate students joining the forum. The
forum consists
of two poster sessions and we also plan short presentation slots in the main
conference
program.
# Important dates

# 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.
