DSN 2011 will feature a number of coordinated tracks, including: The Dependable Computing and Communication Symposium (DCCS), the Performance and Dependability Symposium (PDS), several workshops, tutorials, a student forum, and fast abstract sessions. We invite you to contribute to this premier conference by submitting to any of the categories below.

* Regular Papers: Present recent research results with an archival quality conference publication (12 printed pages)
* Practical Experience Reports: Provide an in-depth description of practitioner experience or a case study (8 printed pages)
* Demonstrations: Describe and demonstrate a piece of software, system, or tool
* Panels: Discuss and debate topics of high interest to the dependability community
* Workshops: Provide opportunities for focused discussion on selected topics in a group setting (Non-archival papers; see individual workshop calls for papers)
* Tutorials: Provide short courses on dependability techniques and theories
* Fast Abstracts: Present a very brief abstract on a topic of interest (2 printed pages)
* Student Forum: For PhD students only -- mid-length presentations about works-in-progress (3 printed pages)
* Poster Papers: Present and discuss emerging research results in a highly interactive, individually based manner (4 printed pages)
