Call for Papers
The Sixth International Workshop on Assurance in Distributed Systems and 
Networks (ADSN2007)
Toronto, Canada
June 29, 2007

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed 
Processing in cooperation with IEICE Technical Committee on Information 
Networks and IEICE Technical Committee on Dependable Computing

This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 27th International 
Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2007)(see for detail 
http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/icdcs07/index.html).

The objective of the Workshop is to provide an effective forum for 
original scientific and engineering advances in Assurance in Distributed 
Systems and Networks. Along with recent rapid growth of the Internet and 
ubiquitous networks, autonomous decentralized systems are connected with 
each other. In these distributed systems and networks, heterogeneous 
requirements are independently generated and the requirements themselves 
are frequently changing. Assurance in these distributed systems and 
networks is defined as capability of guaranteeing functional and 
nonfunctional system properties such as dependability, security, 
timeliness and adaptivity to heterogeneous and changing requirements. The 
workshop theme is critical in meeting ever more demanding requirements for 
assurance in systems and networks, especially in the future Internet and 
ubiquitous networks. Technologies supporting assurance including 
integration of various technologies such as real time, fault tolerance, 
autonomy, mobility and intelligence will have to be incorporated in 
complex distributed systems and networks.

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:


Heterogeneous coexistence techniques.
Techniques for achieving high dependability in complex systems.
System life-cycle, specification, design, implementation, verification, 
and validation techniques of assurance.
System management techniques for assurance.
Real-time technology for assurance systems.
Software and hardware technologies (E-commerce, Intelligent transport 
system, Train control, Space computer) for assurance.
Self-stabilization and sensor networks.
Agents technologies for assurance.
Security issues for information warfare.
Network control (QoS, CoS, etc) technologies for assurance.
Web service-based computing systems.
Papers and Submissions
Papers must be written in English, and they have to be Postscript, PDF, or 
Word format. The complete manuscript should be no more than 6 pages 
following IEEE conference proceedings style and guidelines. The following 
information must be provided on a cover sheet:

   (1) paper title, full name, affiliation of the author(s)
   (2) full name, affiliation, complete address, phone and fax numbers and
email address of the author to be contacted, as well as
   (3) an abstract (up to a 150 words).
To submit a paper, please send the manuscript to huangct@cse.sc.edu .
Authors are expected to present their paper at the workshop. At least one 
author of each paper must register for ICDCS to be included in the 
workshop program.
