SRDS 2023 call for papers
Marrakesh, Morocco
Sep 24-29, 2023
The 42nd International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems
(SRDS 2023) 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.
We welcome the following types of submissions:
- research papers, describing original research as well as design,
development and experimental results of distributed systems;
- practical experience reports describing ongoing industrial
projects, prototype systems and exploratory or emerging
applications; and
- tool papers describing architecture, implementation and usage of
substantive tools to support research, development and operation
of reliable distributed systems;
Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each
category.
*** 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 the design, implementation, verification,
validation, and operation of dependable and secure distributed
applications, middleware, operating systems, virtual machines and
hardware.
- Analytical, simulative and experimental assessment of dependable
and secure distributed systems, in particular, when in real-world
settings or with real-world data and in large scale and complex
environments.
*** IMPORTANT DATES ***
All deadlines are at 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time.
Abstract Submission: April 15th, 2023 (recommended)
Full Paper Submission: April 22th, 2023
Rebuttal: June 10th to June 12th, 2023
Notification to Authors: June 17th, 2023
Camera-Ready and author registration: July 1st, 2023
Conference dates: September 24-29, 2023
*** SUBMISSION ***
- Papers must be written in English. Research Papers, Practical
Experience Reports, and Tool Papers should be no longer than 10
pages, *excluding references* for which there's no page limit,
following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings.
Additional details to substantiate the main claims of the paper,
such as proofs, data tables or code snippets, can be included in a
clearly marked appendix beyond the page limit, and read at the
reviewers discretion. Authors are requested to first register
their submissions with a title and abstract, and then submit their
manuscripts in PDF format at the HoTCRP page.
Submission site:
https://hotcrp.inesctec.pt/srds23/
- All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and
relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of
the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are
required to make a good-faith effort to preserve the anonymity of
your
submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully
grasp the context of related past work, including your own. It is
recognized that, at times, information regarding the identities of
authors may become public outside the submission process (e.g., if
a pre-print is published as a technical report or on a pre-print
server). The PC will ignore this external information. Minimally,
please take the following steps when preparing your submission:
- Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title
page.
- Remove acknowledgment of identifying names and funding sources.
- Use care in referring to related work, particularly your own. Do
not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the
reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, reference your past
work in the third person, just as you would any other piece of
related work by another author.
- Submissions that do not conform to the above anonymization and
formatting guidelines (e.g., are too long, use fonts or line
spacing smaller than what is indicated) or are unoriginal,
previously published, or are under submission to multiple venues
concurrently, will be desk rejected without review.
- If you have any question regarding paper submission, please do
not hesitate to contact the conference PC Chairs: Anne-Marie
Kermarrec, Dan Kim, Alexandre Maurer.
SRDS 2023 will include an Artifact Evaluation (AE) process,
allowing artifacts (software, data sets, ...) used in research to
be validated and actively disseminated together with accepted
papers. Submitting artifacts for evaluation is optional but
strongly encouraged, as public and reusable artifacts foster
replication, reproduction, and extension of research results.
Artifact submission will be available for accepted papers shortly
after notification, so authors should be prepared in advance.
*** BEST PAPER AWARD ***
All accepted papers SRDS will compete for the "Prof. C. V.
Ramamoorthy Best Paper Award". The SRDS Best Paper is named after
Prof. Chittoor V. Ramamoorthy, who was instrumental in the 80’s
for the success of SRDS, many of his former students have also
significantly contributed to the conference.
