General Information:

The Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing (formerly Pacific Rim International Symposium on Fault-Tolerant Systems) is a biennial symposium for dissemination of the state-of-the-art research in dependable computing, with particular emphasis on systems and software. This will be the sixth in the series of biennial symposia organized since 1989. Research papers ranging from fundamental theoretical contributions to practical experimental projects are welcome. PRDC 1999 is part of the federated 1999 International Computer Congress (ICC'99) which also features The Fifth International Computer Science Conference (ICSC'99), The Sixth International Conference on Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA'99) and First International Conference on Mobile Data Access (MDA'99).

Topics of Interest:

The best papers will be considered for publication in IEEE Transactions on Reliability. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

Design for system dependability
Fault-tolerant systems and software
Software and hardware reliability, testing, verification and validation
Dependability measurement, modeling and evaluation
Safety-critical systems and software
Security issues and approaches
Tools for design and evaluation of dependable systems
Component-based technology and dependability
Dependability issues related to the Year 2000 problem
Application-specific dependability issues in distributed and parallel systems, computer networks, real-time systems, database and transaction processing systems, world wide web and Internet

Submission of Papers:

Papers should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be not more than 20 double-spaced pages including figures and tables, using 11 point type. The title page should include a 150-word abstract, five keywords, authors' names and address. The full mailing address, telephone and fax number and email address of the author for correspondence should also be specified. Electronic submission of the paper in postscript format is preferred.
