---------------------------------
PRDC 2014 is the twentieth in this series of symposia started in 1989 that are
devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing. PRDC is recognized as the
main event in the Pacific area that covers the 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, testing, verification, and validation
* Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools
* Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems
* Software aging and rejuvenation
* Safety-critical systems and software
* Architecture and system design for dependability
* Fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols
* Reliability in cloud computing, Internet, and web systems and applications
* Cloud and Internet Information security
* Dependability issues in computer networks and communications
* Dependability issues in distributed and parallel systems
* Dependability issues in real-time systems, database, and transaction
processing systems
* Dependability issues in autonomic computing
* Dependability issues in aerospace and embedded systems

## National University of Singapore ##
A leading global university centered in Asia, the National University of
Singapore (NUS) offers a global approach to education and research, with a
focus on Asian perspectives and expertise. Over 36,000 students from 100
countries further enrich the community with their diverse social and cultural
perspectives, making campus life vibrant and exciting. NUS has a strong and
growing reputation for impactful research with numerous productive
collaborations with research organizations and industry in Singapore and around
the world. The Department of Computer Science, with over 80 faculty members,
had a long track record in grooming leaders for the digital economy and IT
workforce. The Computer Science department has more than 350 PH.D students
where strong teams of more than 20 students are doing research in Formal Method
area. The departments' internationally recognized faculty members perform
research in various areas.
## Singapore ##
Singapore (also called the Lion City), is a Southeast Asian city-state off the
southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the
equator. An island country made up of 63 islands, it is separated from Malaysia
by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the
Singapore Strait to its south. Singapore is highly urbanized but almost half of
the country is covered by greenery. More land is being created for development
through land reclamation.
The Lion City is a modern metropolis with one of the world's busiest ports and
a world-class airport. At the same time, the small tropical island has retained
many elements of its colonial past.
