WORSHOPS

SRDS 2016 plans to run pre-conference workshops (half-day or full-day) on
September 26th, 2016. Researchers interested in organizing a workshop on
topics related to reliable distributed systems are invited to submit
workshop proposals by February 28th, 2016. The Call for Workshops is
available at http://srds2016.inf.mit.bme.hu/workshops/. The workshops
will be announced on the symposium website.


PHD FORUM

SRDS 2016 will organize a PhD Student Forum. It provides an opportunity
for PhD students and graduate students to present their research to a
renowned audience, receive live feedback and exchange their ideas.


BEST PAPER AWARD

The symposium will highlight the best paper. All papers accepted for
presentation at the symposium will be evaluated for the Best Paper Award.
