Call details
============
While computing is provided by the cloud and
services increasingly pervade our daily lives,
dependability and security are no longer
restricted to mission or safety critical
applications, but rather become a cornerstone of
the information society. Unfortunately,
large-scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous software
systems that typically run continuously, often
tend to become inert, brittle, and vulnerable
after a while. The key problem is that the most
innovative systems and applications are the ones
that also suffer most from a significant decrease
in dependability and security when compared to
traditional critical systems, where dependability
and security are fairly well understood as
complementary concepts and a variety of proven
methods and techniques is available today. In
accordance with Laprie we call this effect the
dependability gap, which is widened in front of
us between demand and supply of dependability,
and we can see this trend further fueled by the
demand for resource awareness, green computing, and increasing cost pressure.

Among technical factors of dependability,
software development methods, tools, and
techniques contribute to dependability, as
defects in software products and services may
lead to failure and also provide typical access
for malicious attacks. In addition, there is a
wide variety of fault and intrusion tolerance
techniques available, including persistence
provided by databases, redundancy and
replication, group communication, transaction
monitors, reliable middleware, cloud
infrastructures,
fragmentation-redundancy-scattering, and
trustworthy service-oriented architectures with
explicit control of quality of service properties
and service level agreements. Furthermore,
adaptiveness is envisaged in order to react to
observed, or act upon expected changes of the
system itself, the context/environment (e.g.,
resource variability or failure/threat scenarios)
or users' needs and expectations. Provided
without explicit user intervention, this is also
termed autonomous behavior or self-properties,
and often involves monitoring, diagnosis
(analysis, interpretation), and reconfiguration
(repair). In particular, adaptation is also a
means to achieve dependability and security in a
computing infrastructure with dynamically varying structure and properties.

Topics of interest
==================

* Dependable, Adaptive, and trustworthy Distributed Systems (DADS)
* Architectures, architectural styles, and middleware for DADS
* Protocols for DADS
* Modeling, design, and engineering of DADS
* Foundations and formal methods for DADS
* Applications of DADS
* Evaluations, testing, benchmarking, and case studies of DADS
* Holistic aspects of DADS
