DSN 2011 Workshop on Proactive Failure Avoidance, Recovery and Maintenance (PFARM)
Sheraton Hong Kong – Hotel & Towers, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China, June 27th, 2011
For more details, please see the workshop web page at http://confman.informatik.hu-berlin.de/pfarm/2011/
Over the last decade, research on dependable computing has undergone a shift from reactive towards proactive methods: Traditionally, fault tolerance was reacting to errors or component failures in order to prevent them to turn into system failures, and maintenance was following fixed, time-based plans. However, due to an ever increasing system complexity, use of commercial-off-the-shelf components, virtualization, cloud computing, ongoing system patches and updates, etc., such approaches have become difficult to apply. Therefore, a new area in dependability research has emerged focusing on proactive approaches that start acting before a problem arises in order to increase time-to-failure and/or reduce time-to-repair. These techniques frequently build on the anticipation of upcoming problems based on runtime monitoring. Industry and academia has come up with several terms for such techniques, each focusing on different aspects, including self-* computing, self-adaptive software, autonomic computing, proactive fault management, trustworthy computing, software rejuvenation, or preventive/ proactive maintenance. It is the goal of this workshop to increase collaboration among researchers from various communities all over the world working on the topic of PFARM. We want to provide a stimulating, and fruitful forum to foster collaboration, to discuss ideas, exchange experiences and to find new answers to the overall challenge of improving system dependability in contemporary computing and communication systems by an order of magnitude or more.
TOPICS
We seek submissions from industry and academia. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Runtime dependability assessment and evaluation (reliability, availability, etc.)
- Runtime monitoring for online fault detection and diagnosis, including monitoring data processing
- Prediction methods to anticipate failures, resource exhaustion or other critical situations in complex systems, distributed systems, adaptive or peer-to-peer networks.
- Predictive diagnosis and fault location as well as root-cause analysis
- Hardware installation and software deployment (non-intrusive, online recovery, updates and upgrades, etc.)
- Proactive maintenance strategies (short-term as well as long-term)
- Optimal decision algorithms and policies to manage recovery actions
IMPORTANT DATES
- Submission Deadline: March 15th, 2011
- Author notification: April 15th, 2011
- Camera-ready version: May 1st, 2011

- HotDep '11 Call for Papers
Seventh Workshop on Hot Topics in System Dependability (HotDep '11)
http://hotdep2011.cis.upenn.edu
Jeju June 27, 2011; Hong Kong, China
OVERVIEW
Authors are invited to submit position papers to the Seventh Workshop on Hot Topics in System Dependability (HotDep '11). The workshop will be co-located with the 41st Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN'11), to be held June 27-30, 2011. HotDep '11 will bring forth cutting-edge research ideas spanning the domains of fault tolerance/reliability and systems, and will impact the two associated research communities (i.e., researchers who attend traditional "dependability" conferences such as DSN and ISSRE, and those who attend "systems" conferences such as OSDI, SOSP, and EuroSys). The workshop will build links between the two communities and serve as a forum for sharing ideas and challenges. HotDep has been alternating between DSN and OSDI since 2005; for previous HotDep workshops, see http://www.hotdep.org/.
PAPER SCOPE AND TOPICS
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
- * Dependability in emerging platforms, such as data centers, handheld or cloud computing.
- * Dependability in the software stack, including operating systems, network protocols, runtime systems, etc.
- * Fault and intrusion tolerance, self-healing systems, and continuous operation throughout recovery.
- * Reliability in large-scale systems.
- * Techniques for better detection, diagnosis, or recovery from failures.
- * Forensic tools for use by administrators and programmers after failure or attack.
- * Techniques and metrics for quantifying aspects of dependability and security.
- * Tools/concepts/techniques for optimizing tradeoffs among availability, performance, correctness, resource utilization and security
Authors should consider that the workshop aims to improve interactions among researchers from the dependability and systems communities, and thus the review process favors papers that are likely to generate a healthy debate. Example submissions include but are not limited to:
- * Innovative techniques, algorithms, or protocols for building dependable/secure systems.
- * Reconsideration of existing problems using novel approaches with demonstrable benefits.
- * Description of an emerging problem and potential solutions.
- * Refuting old, entrenched perspectives on dependability.
- * Advocacy, critical or controversial papers if based on solid technical foundation.
IMPORTANT DATES
- * Paper submissions due: March 1, 2011, 11:59pm PST (hard deadline)
- * Notification to authors: April 12, 2011
- * Final papers due: May 1, 2011
