The Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems is a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in distributed systems design, development and evaluation, particularly with emphasis on reliability, availability, safety, security, trust and real time. We welcome original research papers as well as practical experience reports that deal with design, development and experimental results of operational systems.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Autonomic, pervasive and ubiquitous computing
Cloud computing and virtualization: X-as-a-Service
Dependability of distributed databases and transaction processing
Dependability of distributed multimedia systems
Dependable communication networks, QoS control and assessment
Dependable cooperative mobile systems: ad hoc networks, sensor networks, robot networks
Distributed algorithms
Distributed objects and middleware systems
Experimental or analytical evaluations of dependable distributed systems
Fault-tolerance, reliability, availability in distributed systems
Formal methods and foundations for dependable distributed computing
High-assurance and safety-critical distributed system design and evaluation
Internet-based systems and applications
Parallel and distributed operating systems
Privacy-assuring large scale data management systems
Resilience of distributed infrastructures: intelligent transport, smart grids, vehicular networks
Secure and trusted distributed systems
Submission Guidelines
Papers must be written in English. Regular Papers describing original research as well as design, development and experimental results of operational systems, and Practical Experience Reports describing on-going industrial projects, prototype systems and exploratory or emerging applications should be no longer than 10 pages, strictly following the IEEE two-column format.

Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

Authors are requested to first register their submissions and submit their manuscripts in PDF format here.

All paper submissions will be handled via Easychair.

Best Paper Award
The symposium will highlight the best paper. All papers accepted for presentation at the symposium will be evaluated by the Best Paper Award Co-Chairs for the award.
