Final Call for DependSys 2019 Short Papers with 10+ Keynotes, 19+ Special Issues, and 13+ Co-Located Conferences/Symposiums/Workshops. ============================== DependSys 2019 ============================== The 5th International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications (DependSys 2019) November 12-15, 2019, Guangzhou, China http://www.dependsys.org/DependSys2019/ Short Paper Submission Deadline: August 20, 2019 (Firm Deadline) ============================================================================ The 5th International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications (DependSys 2019) will provide a forum for both academia and industry professionals to present their latest research findings in different aspects of dependability issues. In addition to full-length regular papers, the DependSys 2019 conference welcomes Short Papers showing innovative and original research in the areas of dependability. Submissions from both industry and academia are strongly encouraged. Short Papers are expected to report on early or ongoing research activities. The Short Papers session will provide a forum to discuss novel ideas and emerging results, presenting innovative applications and tools, and bring about novel research questions, approaches, and directions. Submission Guidelines Short Papers maybe 8-10 pages in length, or at most 4 additional pages with the pages overlength charge, including figures, tables, and references. If accepted, Short Papers will be considered for possible publication as Regular Papers in author notifications around August 25, 2019. In other words, we will not differentiate Regular Papers and Short Papers in the conference proceedings. The submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the DependSys 2019 Technical Program Committee. All selected papers will be orally presented in a special conference session. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the conference to present the work. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by Springer LNCS, and will be included in the Digital Library in Springer. Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in standard Springer LNCS proceedings format (https://www.springer.com/cn/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) through the conference website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dependsys2019) with PDF format. When submitting, please select the appropriate Track for your paper (i.e., SHORT). Submitted papers must include the contact information of all the authors. Please make sure you use the latest version of the templates to prepare your submissions. Due to the short interval between the notification of acceptance and the camera-ready deadline, we strongly encourage authors to follow the camera-ready formatting guidelines as close as possible. ====================================================================== Keynote Speeches Section* You are welcome to attend 10+ Keynote Speeches offerred by world-renowned professors and industry leaders, which will be shared by the co-located conferences (iSCI 2019 and DependSys 2019) and associated symposiums, workshops and special sessions (TrustData, AEIT, IWCSS, Blockchain, NOPE, INSERT-IoT, BDSC-IoT, FogCom, ITSC, EAIC, CNC, etc).

Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault/corruption/anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on. Two outstanding papers will be selected to receive the Best Paper Awards. DependSys 2019 topics include, but are not limited to the following: Track 1: Dependability and Security Fundamentals and Technologies +Concepts, theory, principles, standardization and modelling, and methodologies for dependability +Security and privacy +Anomaly detection and protection +Dependability of sensor, wireless, and Ad-hoc networks dependability in mobile computing +Dependability of software defined networks (SDN) +Dependability issues in clouds (e.g., cloud storage, computing) +Software and hardware dependability +Reliability and fault-tolerant computing +Dependability by virtualization +Dependability in distributed scheduling and resource management +Dependability issues in parallel and distributed databases +Dependability issues in autonomic computing +Dependable Biocomputing, Quantum computing, etc. +Dependable big data foundation and management +Big data privacy and security +Dependable IoT supporting technologies +Social networks and crowdsensing Track 2: Dependable and Secure Systems +Dependable sensor systems +Dependability and availability issues in distributed systems +Cyber-physical systems (e.g. networked embedded systems, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, smart grid systems) +Dependability issues in socio-technical systems +Dependability issues in database and transaction processing systems +Safety and security in distributed computing systems +Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems +IoT smart sensors and systems +RFID systems +Reliability issues in long-distance telemetry of distributed sensor systems +Dependability in automotive systems +Dependable computing clouds for cyber-physical systems +Dependable integration between sensor systems and the cloud +Dependability in big data systems +Safety-critical systems and software +Software system security Track 3: Dependable and Secure Applications +Sensor and robot applications, sensor network applications +Big data applications +Cloud computing applications +Datacenter monitoring +Safety care, medical care and services, IoT-based healthcare +Aerospace, industrial, and transportation applications +IoT Energy, smart grid, and utility applications +Scientific applications +e-commerce and e-government +Activity monitoring +Mobile sensing applications, detection and tracking Track 4: Dependability and Security Measures and Assessments +Dependability metrics and measures for safety, trust, faith, amenity, easiness, comfort, and worry +Dependability levels and relations, assessment criteria and authority +Dependability assessment standards +Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools +Dependability evaluation of parallel, distributed systems +Software and hardware reliability, testing, verification and validation +Evaluation of fault-tolerant systems +Evaluations and tools of anomaly detection and protection in sensor, cloud, big data systems +Experimental performance of parallel & distributed systems +Practical experiences and prototypesalysis and Social Life Informatization IMPORTANT DATES Short Paper Submission Deadline: August 20, 2019 (Firm Deadline) Author Notification for Short Papers: August 25, 2019 Camera-Ready Paper Due: September 15, 2019 Conference Dates: November 12-15, 2019 PAPER SUBMISSION All papers in PDF format need to be submitted electronically through the conference website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dependsys2019) Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Short Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 10 pages in Springer LNCS format (or up to 14 pages with the pages over length charge), including tables, figures, references and appendices.

PAPER PUBLICATION DependSys 2019 reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from the digital library and indexing services), if the paper is not presented at the conference. All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (EI Indexed). Two outstanding papers will be selected to receive the Best Paper Awards. CALL FOR PROPOSALS for SYMPOSIUMS, WORKSHOPS and SPECIAL SESSIONS The DependSys 2019 Workshops provide vibrant opportunities for academic researchers and industry practitioners to share their research experiences, original research achievements and practical development products on specific new challenges and emerging issues. The themes of the DependSys 2019 Symposiums, Workshops and Special Sessions should be related to the scopes of the DependSys 2019 main conference, reflecting to advances in all aspects of security, privacy and anonymity of computing systems, communication networks and storage services.
