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

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.

The Ph.D. Forum provides an opportunity for graduate students working in research areas 

related to reliable distributed systems to present their problem statement, research 

methods and planned contributions, and to receive high-quality feedback and guidance from 

established researchers and other graduate students joining the forum. The forum consists 

of two poster sessions and we also plan short presentation slots in the main conference 

program.

# 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.
