*****************************************************************************************

       The 43rd International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS 2024) 

                            

                         September 30 - October 04, 2024

                               Charlotte, USA

*****************************************************************************************

The 43rd International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS 2024) is a forum 

for researchers and practitioners interested in distributed systems design, development 

and evaluation, with an emphasis on reliability, availability, safety, dependability, 

security, verification, and real-time aspects.

We welcome the following types of submissions:

 * research papers, describing original research as well as design, development and 

   experimental results of distributed systems;

 * practical experience reports describing ongoing industrial projects, prototype systems 

   and exploratory or emerging applications;

 * Tool papers describing architecture, implementation and usage of substantive tools to 

   support research, development and operation of reliable distributed systems.

Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each category.

# Important dates

*****************

(All deadlines are at 23:59 AOE)

* Abstract Submission: April 26th, 2024

* Full Paper Submission: May 3rd, 2024

* Notification to Authors: June 24th, 2024

* Camera-Ready and author registration: July 5th, 2024

* Conference dates: September 30 - October 4, 2024

# Paper submission

******************

Papers must be written in English. Research Papers, Practical Experience Reports, and 

Tool Papers should be no longer than 10 pages, *excluding references* for which there's 

no page limit, following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings. 

Additional details to substantiate the main claims of the paper, such as proofs, 

data tables or code snippets, can be included in a clearly marked appendix beyond the 

page limit, and read at the reviewers’ discretion. Authors are requested to first 

register their submissions with a title and abstract, and then submit their manuscripts 

in PDF format at the submission page.

All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance through 

double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the 

reviewers. As an author, you are required to make a good-faith effort to preserve the 

anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully 

grasp the context of related past work, including your own. It is recognized that, 

at times, information regarding the identities of authors may become public outside 

the submission process (e.g., if a preprint is published as a technical report or on 

a preprint server). The PC will ignore this external information. Minimally, please 

take the following steps when preparing your submission:

 * Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title page.

 * Remove acknowledgement of identifying names and funding sources.

 * Use care in referring to related work, particularly your own. Do not omit references 

   to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. 

   Instead, reference your past work in the third person, just as you would any other 

   piece of related work by another author.

Submissions that do not conform to the above anonymization and formatting guidelines 

(e.g., are too long, use fonts or line spacing smaller than what is indicated) or are 

unoriginal, previously published, or are under submission to multiple venues concurrently, 

will be desk rejected without review.

If you have any questions regarding paper submission, please do not hesitate to contact the 

conference PC Chairs: 

 * Silvia Bonomi address@concealed

 * Murat Demirbas address@concealed

 

Submissions site: TBD

# Topics of Interest

********************

The major areas of interest include the following topics:

Dependability, security and privacy of distributed systems including, but not limited to, 

cloud, high-performance, fog, and edge computing; distributed data storage and processing; 

distributed machine learning and AI; safety-critical distributed systems; Internet of Things, 

vehicular, robotic, cyber-physical and mobile systems.

Techniques and algorithms advancing the state-of-the-art in fault tolerance, fault recovery, 

robustness, self-stabilization, self-healing, scalability, and real-time for distributed 

systems. These include but are not limited to, coordination, replication, failure prediction 

and detection, micro-services, transactions, and blockchains.

Methods and tools for designing, implementing, verifying, validating, and operating dependable 

and secure distributed applications, middleware, operating systems, virtual machines and hardware.

Analytical, simulative and experimental assessment of dependable and secure distributed systems,

particularly when in real-world settings or with real-world data and in large-scale and complex 

environments.

# Best Paper Award

******************

Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. To be eligible for the best 

student paper award at least one of the paper authors must be a full-time student at the time 

of submission, and the student(s) must have made a significant contribution to the paper. The 

latter should be indicated at submission time.

All accepted papers SRDS will compete for the "Prof. C. V. Ramamoorthy Best Paper Award". The 

SRDS Best Paper is named after Prof. Chittoor V. Ramamoorthy, who was instrumental in the 80’s 

in the success of SRDS, many of his former students have also significantly contributed to 

the conference.
