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.

# 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.
