HotDep: 9th Workshop on Hot Topics in Dependable Systems

HotDep '13 will bring forth cutting-edge research ideas spanning the domains of systems and fault tolerance/reliability, drawing from the two associated research communities (i.e., researchers who attend traditional "dependability" conference, and those who attend "systems" conferences). The workshop will build links between the two communities and serve as a forum for sharing ideas and challenges.

Topics

• Dependability in large-scale systems, despite either crash or Byzantine failures
• Dependability in emerging platforms, such as handheld devices, datacenters, or cloud computing
• Dependability in the software stack, including operating systems, network protocols, runtime systems, etc.
