Symposium: November 14th-16th, 2007
=================================================================
The Symposium is a prestigious international forum for
researchers and practitioners in the design and development of
fault-tolerant distributed systems with self-* properties, such
as self-stabilizing, self-configuring, self-organizing, self-
managing, self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-
adaptive, and self-protecting.
The theory of self-stabilization has been enriched in the last
30 years by high quality research contributions in the areas of
algorithmic techniques, formal methodologies, model theoretic
issues, and composition techniques. All these areas are essential
to the understanding and maintenance of self-* properties in
fault-tolerant distributed systems.
Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in
its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such
as peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks,
mobile ad hoc networks, robotic networks, etc. Moreover, new
applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce,
e-health and robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive,
industrial process control, etc. have joined the traditional
applications of distributed systems.
Now, more than ever, the theory of self-stabilization has tremendous
impact in these areas. Last year, the scope of the symposium
was expanded to cover all safety and security related aspects
of self-* systems and the symposium succeeded in fostering the
connection between safety, security and self-* properties.
SSS 2007 will have three tracks: networking, safety and security,
and self-* properties in static and dynamic systems.
The symposium solicits contributions on all aspects of self-
stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems
and programming, from theoretical contributions, to reports of
the actual experience of applying the principles of self-stabilization
to static and dynamic systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Stabilization
- self-stabilizing systems
- self-managed, self-assembling, autonomic and adaptive systems
- self-optimizing and self-protecting systems
- self-* abstractions for implementing fundamental services
in static and dynamic distributed systems
- impossibility results and lower bounds for self-* systems
- application of stabilizing algorithms and techniques in dynamic
distributed systems
- data and code stabilization
- algorithms for self-* error detection/correction
Safety
- safety critical systems
- trust models and specifications
- semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat,
risk and reputation
- trust-related security and privacy
- reliable and dependable systems
- fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness,
survivable systems, failure recovery
Security
- security of network protocols
- security of sensor and mobile networks protocols
- secure architectures, frameworks, policy, intrusion detection/
awareness
- proactive security
- self-* properties and their relation with classical fault-tolerance
and security
- security protocols for self-* systems
Networks and Applications
- models of fault-tolerant communication
- stochastic, physical, and biological models to analyze self-*
properties
- communication complexity
- data structures for efficient communication
- self-stabilizing hardware, software, and middleware
- algorithms for high-speed networks, sensors, wireless and
robots networks
- mobile agents
- peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, MANETs, and wireless
mesh networks
- network topologies, overlays, and protocols
- protocols for secure and reliable data transport and search
in wireless mesh networks
- information storage and sharing in wireless mesh networks
Contributors are invited to submit a PDF file of their paper.
Submissions should be no longer than 4800 words and should not
exceed 12 pages on A4-size paper using at least 11 point font
and reasonable margins (the page limit includes all figures,
tables, and graphs). Submissions should include a cover page
(that does not count toward the 12 page limit) that includes
paper title, authors and affiliations, contact author's e-mail
address, an abstract of the work in a few lines, and a few keywords.
Submitted papers may have appendices beyond the 12 page limit,
but reviewers are free to disregard any material beyond the
12 page limit. A paper submitted to SSS 2007 is expected to
be original research not previously published in a journal or
conference proceedings; a submission may not be concurrently
submitted to any other conference or workshop.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the
Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
It is also planned that selected papers from SSS 2007 will
appear in a special issue of a high quality academic journal.
