Call for Papers

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Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in standard Springer LNCS proceedings format (https://www.springer.com/cn/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) through the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.

Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications

The focus of the 5th International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications (DependSys 2019) is to create a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations, who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great confidence. 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.

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. Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation assessed by at least three reviewers from respective research areas.

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.
