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).

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
-
