The submitted paper must be original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal, and will not be submitted elsewhere before notification by RTAS 2016. Submissions will be refereed for quality and relevance. Submissions that fail to comply with the formatting requirements will not be reviewed.

– Demo papers should adhere to the IEEE 10-point, two-column conference format, and be 1 to 2 pages long, including all references and appendices. They should repeat and extend the information provided in the abstract. In addition, they must clearly describe what will be demonstrated and how the contributions will be illustrated interactively. If a demonstration requires special arrangements (in addition to a table, power, and wireless connectivity), please describe them clearly in the paper. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as the potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas at the conference.

Abstracts and short papers must be submitted electronically in PDF.

By submitting a paper, the authors agree and confirm that, in case of acceptance, at least one author will register for the conference and present the WiP/demo in person. Instructions for preparing the final version of accepted WiP/demo papers and their presentation will be sent along with the notification.

Special Issue on

“Reliable Software Technologies for Dependable Distributed Systems”
JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE (JSA), Elsevier.

(Indexed by JCR)

Submission deadline:  April 20th, 2016
————————————————————————-

SCOPE AND TOPICS:

The number of distributed applications as well as the number of users accessing
remote infrastructures and applications has increased exponentially in the last
decade.  New computing infrastructures are now capable of hosting complex
applications, being still the main bottleneck on the software side.  The software
platforms are constantly challenged by the progress pace of hardware, e.g.,
multi-core, GPU accelerated processing, or high speed intra- and inter-node
communication networks. The software level highly impacts systems’ dependability.

This special issue calls for contributions on design and implementation of
dependable systems. Software intensive dependable systems design and implementation
models that efficiently manage the platform resources. Contributions on the
selection and evaluation of distributed interaction models for middleware, software
technology choices, model-based design including accurate though flexible temporal
behavior modeling, resource efficiency, performance, scalability, and coordination
are requested. Contributions may focus at the different levels of the software
stack of a reliable system: operating systems, middleware, programming models,
security, and related mechanisms to enhance the flexibility and reliability.

Topics include (but are not limited to) the challenging issues in the design of
reliable and resource efficient software infrastructures for dependable distributed
systems, possibly at large scale:

* Distribution models in middleware (publish-subscribe, remote invocations, events,etc.)
* Model driven design
* Resource management, quality of service,  and real-time
* Operating systems and virtualization technology
* Software enabling tools for cyber-physical systems
* Distributed embedded systems
* Performance and quality models in distributed dependable settings
* Exploiting computation power of hardware (multi-core, GPUs, etc.)
* Experiences in actual application scenarios
* Security in large scale deployments
* Quality-aware on-line stream processing

SUBMISSION FORMAT:

Contributions should be novel, original work, not previously published. Papers should
not be under review at any scientific event (either conference or workshop).

Papers that have been previously published in conferences or journals are encouraged
to be submitted if they contain, at least, 35% new material and results. This should
be clearly indicated in the cover letter.

Submissions will be between 8 and 10 pages in double column format at the initial
submission stage.  Up to 12 pages after considering reviewers comments and for the
camera ready version.

IMPORTANT DATES:

The timeline for the review process is as follows:

– Submission: April 20th, 2016

– Tentative publication: December 16 to April 17

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
—————————————-

This year, every author is required to submit two separate documents:

1. An abstract that will appear in the main proceedings. These abstracts must include a conventional header with the title of the WiP/demo paper and the names and affiliations of the authors. The header must be followed by approximately 300 words (i.e. about half a page) that summarize in one or two paragraphs the research context and the specificity of the solution that will be presented/demonstrated. To avoid doubling up the references and skewing the citation count, it is extremely important to note that these abstracts must *not* contain references nor acknowledgments! All references and acknowledgements will be removed from the document before its publication in the main proceedings.

2. A short paper that will be made available online and at the conference.

– WiP papers should consist of 2 to 4 pages in the IEEE 10-point, two-column conference format, including all references and appendices. The submitted paper must be original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal, and will not be submitted elsewhere before notification by RTAS 2016. Submissions will be refereed for quality and relevance. Submissions that fail to comply with the formatting requirements will not be reviewed.

– Demo papers should adhere to the IEEE 10-point, two-column conference format, and be 1 to 2 pages long, including all references and appendices. They should repeat and extend the information provided in the abstract. In addition, they must clearly describe what will be demonstrated and how the contributions will be illustrated interactively. If a demonstration requires special arrangements (in addition to a table, power, and wireless connectivity), please describe them clearly in the paper. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as the potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas at the conference.

Abstracts and short papers must be submitted electronically in PDF.

By submitting a paper, the authors agree and confirm that, in case of acceptance, at least one author will register for the conference and present the WiP/demo in person. Instructions for preparing the final version of accepted WiP/demo papers and their presentation will be sent along with the notification.
