                               OBJECTIVES

With growing strategic importance of large scale networked applications executing on high-performance computers and broadband communication networks, the performance and dependability of computer systems and networks have become closely related. Designers and analysts must consider the relationships between the occurrence of errors/failures and their impact on performance, both in computer systems themselves and in the interconnections between the system's components.

The International Performance and Dependability Symposium aims to bring together academic and industrial researchers in these two areas, with emphasis on integrating theory and practice. Relating analytical techniques to simulations, actual measurements, and experiments will be the broad theme of IPDS. Research relating to hardware and software issues in parallel and distributed systems and networks will be emphasized. The topics include but are not restricted to:

            Analytical/Simulation/Measurement Techniques for
            Performance/Dependability applied to:
            Software/Hardware Systems
            Real-Time Systems
            Communication Systems
            Distributed Systems
            Parallel and Clustered Systems
            Multiprocessing Systems
            Systems for Fault-tolerance

===========================================================================
                        INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

Regular papers describing original research, practical experience reports, tool descriptions/demonstrations, and panel proposals will be refereed and considered for publication in the Proceedings of the 2002 International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks. A selected set of accepted papers will be published in a special issue of the PERFORMANCE EVALUATION journal.

Excessively long submissions, unoriginal work, or work that is submitted to multiple venues, will be disregarded. The title page should include the title of the paper, author name(s), affiliations, mailing address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address, a maximum 150-word abstract, five keywords, the submission category (see above), an approximate word count, and a declaration that the material has been cleared through author affiliations. For multi-authored submissions, the contact author should be indicated.

The format of submissions for review should be single-column, Times 11-point size, double spacing and no more than:

     20 pages for Regular Papers,
     10 pages for Practical Experience Reports and Tool Descriptions &
        Demonstrations,
      2 pages for Panel proposals.

The format for final, camera-ready submissions that have been accepted for publication should be in accordance with IEEE standard conference format. The paper should be submitted in electronic form: PostScript (.ps) or Portable Document Format (.pdf) to:
