Program Committee:

- Christian Prehofer, Nokia Research Center, Finland
- Paulo Sousa, Univ. of Lisbon, Portugal

Deadlines:

- Notification: April 24, 2009
Fast Abstracts at DSN are short presentations, either on new ideas or
work in progress, or opinion pieces that can address any issue relevant
to dependable systems and networks. Because they are brief and have a
later deadline, Fast Abstracts enable their authors to:
- Summarise work that is not yet complete
- Put forward novel or challenging ideas
- State positions on controversial issues
- Suggest new approaches to the solution of open problems
Fast Abstracts are aimed at academics and practitioners,
junior and
senior researchers, promoting a rich exchange of experiences. Thus,
they provide an excellent opportunity to introduce new work, or present
radical opinions, and receive early feedback from the community.
Contributions are particularly solicited from industrial practitioners
and academics that may not have been able to prepare full papers due to
time and work pressure, but nevertheless seek an opportunity to engage
with the DSN community.
Submission guidelines
Fast Abstracts should be at most two pages in length, must be formatted
using standard two-column IEEE format, and must be submitted by the
deadline of April 6, 2009 -
23:59 (PDT). Since there is no revision cycle, the
submitted Fast Abstracts must be in .pdf format and completely ready
for printing. Contributions should be submitted electronically to the
Fast Abstracts Chair: Luigi
Romano.
The two-column IEEE format layout guide is available from http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/.

Selection and Notification
Submissions will be refereed primarily on the basis of relevance to
DSN, but also on their capacity to stimulate and intrigue the reader.
Accepted contributions will be published in the supplementary volume of
the 2009 International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks.
One of the authors will deliver a short talk (usually five minutes) for
each accepted contribution. A selected set of the best contributions
will deserve prime time in a DSN plenary session. The remaining
accepted contributions will be presented in Fast Abstracts tracks.
(Submission of a contribution indicates agreement to have one author
present the work, if accepted, at the conference). Decisions will be
notified by April 24, 2009.
