--------------------

The 41st IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems 
(SRDS 2022) is a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in 
distributed systems design, development and evaluation, with emphasis on 
reliability, availability, safety, dependability, security, and real-time.

https://srds-conference.org/

SRDS 2022 will be held in Vienna (AT) from September 19th to September 
22nd, 2022.

The first day of the conference will be dedicated to workshops proposed 
by the scientific and technical community around distributed systems, 
dependability, security, performance, and other related topics. The 
purpose of workshops is to provide a forum for exchanging opinions, 
presenting ideas, and discussing preliminary results in an interactive 
atmosphere.

The organizing committee of SRDS 2022 is welcoming workshop proposals 
until April 25 , 2022.

Responsibilities and Logistics

Workshops may be half-day or full day events.

Workshop chairs are responsible for setting up an international 
technical program committee, independent of the one of the main 
conference. They may select a TPC chair(s) or chair the TPC themselves. 
Responsibilities of the workshop TPC chairs include preparing and 
spreading a call for contributions, attract high-quality submissions, 
set up the selection process assemble and run the workshop program.

SRDS 2022 will provide co-located workshops with the possibility of 
publishing their papers in a supplementary volume to the main conference 
proceedings (IEEE CPS, currently under discussion). This possibility 
would be open to workshops who implement a peer-review selection of 
papers of 4 pages or more in the same format as for the main conference.

Note that the publication of proceedings for the workshop would be a 
possibility and not a requirement: workshops without published 
proceedings, with only abstracts, with only invited speakers, or using a 
mix of these formats, are also warmly welcome.
