From: Anish Arora Newsgroups: comp.parallel Subject: Workshop on Self-Stabilizing Systems (WSS'99) Date: 22 Sep 1998 20:00:09 GMT Organization: The Ohio State University Dept. of Computer and Info. Science Approved: bigrigg@cs.cmu.edu Message-Id: <6u8vk9$198$1@encore.ece.cmu.edu> Originator: bigrigg@ece.cmu.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archived at: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~anish/wss99.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Fourth Workshop on Self-Stabilizing Systems (WSS'99) Hyatt Regency Hotel, Austin, Texas, USA June 5, 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Held in cooperation with the 19th International Conference of Distributed Computer Systems (ICDCS'99), co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Commitee on Distributed Processing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Workshop on Self-Stabilizing Systems returns to Austin, Texas a decade after it was first held there (at MCC). In the interim, the workshop has also been held successfully at Las Vegas in 1995 and at Santa Barbara in 1997. This time, WSS is being organized jointly with the 19th International Conference of Distributed Computer Systems (ICDCS'99) (follow this link to see the ICDCS announcement). Scope WSS'99 provides a forum for the presentation of new research results, and the identification of future directions in its rapidly growing area of research. Original technical papers addressing the following topics of interest are solicited for presentation at the workshop and publication in the workshop proceedings. * Stabilization in distributed and networked systems * Stabilization in the context of system fault-tolerance * Stabilization in the context of system security * Stabilization in the context of real-time systems * Design, analysis and implementation methods for stabilization * Impossibility results and lower bounds for stabilizing systems * Applications of stabilization, experience reports Submissions Intended contributors are invited to submit a postscript file of their paper to the Program Committee Chair Anish Arora (anish@cis.ohio-state.edu). Submissions must not exceed 12 pages with roughly 35 lines/page. Submissions not conforming with these guidelines might not be considered. Please include e-mail, fax, and telephone information of the contact author. An e-mail message acknowledging the arrival of the submission will be sent. Please note that a paper submitted to WSS'99 may also be concurrently submitted to ICDCS'99. The ICDCS deadline for submission is October 1, 1998. If the paper is accepted in ICDCS, then we will publish only a short abstract in the WSS Proceedings. The proceedings of this workshop will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. Those who attend both ICDCS'99 and WSS'99 will only need to pay the ICDCS registration fee and will receive the workshop proceedings alongwith the conference proceedings. Those who attend WSS'99 only will have to pay a separate registration fee, which will include the workshop proceedings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates The workshop timetable is as follows: * Papers due: November 30, 1998 * Acceptance letters sent: February 1, 1998 * Camera-ready copies due: March 15, 1999 * ICDCS'99 conference: May 31--June 5, 1999 * WSS'99 workshop: June 5, 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Committee Anish Arora (Ohio State Univ., Program Chair) Farokh Bastani (Univ of Texas, Dallas) Joffroy Beauquier (L.R.I.
