*****************************************************************
*****************************************************************
In the year 2002, IPDS will be organized under umbrella of DSN
(Dependable Systems and Networks) Conference, which will take
place in Washington DC, U.S., June 23 - 26, 2002.

=================================================================
                               OBJECTIVES
With growing strategic importance of large scale networked applications
executing on high-performance computers and broadband communication 
networks, the performance and dependability of computer systems and 
networks have become closely related. Designers and analysts must 
consider the relationships between the occurrence of errors/failures 
and their impact on performance, both in computer systems
themselves and in the interconnections between the system's components.

The International Performance and Dependability Symposium aims to bring
together academic and industrial researchers in these two areas, with 
emphasis on integrating theory and practice. Relating analytical 
techniques to simulations, actual measurements, and experiments 
will be the broad theme of IPDS. Research relating to hardware and 
software issues in parallel and distributed systems and networks will 
be emphasized. The topics include but are not restricted to:

            Analytical/Simulation/Measurement Techniques for
            Performance/Dependability applied to:
            Software/Hardware Systems
            Real-Time Systems
            Communication Systems
            Distributed Systems
            Parallel and Clustered Systems
            Multiprocessing Systems
            Systems for Fault-tolerance

===========================================================================
                        INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
Regular papers describing original research, practical experience
reports,
tool descriptions/demonstrations, and panel proposals will be refereed
and
considered for publication in the Proceedings of the 2002 International
Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks. Excessively long 
submissions, unoriginal work, or work that is submitted to multiple
venues, 
will be disregarded. The title page should include the title of the
paper, 
author name(s), affiliations, mailing address, phone number, fax number, 
and e-mail address, a maximum 150-word abstract, five keywords, the 
submission category (see above), an approximate word count, and a 
declaration that the material has been cleared through author
affiliations. 
For multi-authored submissions, the contact author should be indicated.

The format of submissions for review should be single-column, Times
11-point
size, double spacing and no more than:
     20 pages for Regular Papers,
     10 pages for Practical Experience Reports and Tool Descriptions &
        Demonstrations,
      2 pages for Panel proposals.

The format for final, camera-ready submissions that have been accepted
for
publication should be in accordance with IEEE standard conference
format.
The paper should be submitted in electronic form: PostScript (.ps) or
Portable Document Format (.pdf) to: www.dsn.org
