Held in conjunction with the

31st IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium
    http://www.ipdps.org/

May 29-June 2, 2017
Buena Vista Palace Hotel
Orlando, Florida USA


Important dates:
    Paper submission:           January 25, 2017
    Notification of authors:    February 15, 2017
    Camera-ready papers:        March 22, 2017

The workshop is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing and a patron IRIANC (International Research Institute of Autonomic Network Computing), Boston, USA / Munich, Germany.

Increasingly, large and complex parallel distributed and network-centric computing systems provide unique challenges to the researchers in dependable computing, especially because of the high failure rates intrinsic to these systems.  This workshop is a continuation of the FTPDS (Fault-Tolerant Parallel and Distributed Systems) workshop series.  The goal is to provide a  forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss all aspects of dependability including  reliability, availability, safety and security for parallel, distributed and network-centric  systems. All aspects of design, theory and realization are of interest.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Dependable parallel, distributed and network-centric computing systems
- High availability in parallel, distributed and network-centric systems
- Safety and security in distributed and network-centric computing systems
- Autonomic network computing
- Resilience/fault tolerance at software level
- Dependability by virtualization
- Dependable high-speed wide, local, and system area networks
- Dependable mobile computing
- Dependable clusters
- Dependable internet servers
- Dependable cloud computing
- Dependability issues of multi- and many core systems
- Dependability in distributed embedded systems
- Dependable protocols for distributed and network-centric systems
- Protocol verification and validation
- Dependability of Software Defined Networks (SDN)
- Practical experiences and prototypes
- Dependability evaluation of parallel, distributed and network-centric systems

Submission of papers, at most 10 pages long including figures and references in the IEEE format describing original unpublished research by January 25, 2017 in PDF format electronically via the workshop webpage: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dpdns2017

All papers will be reviewed.

Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the conference and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after the conference.
