The Second International Conference on Dependability

• DEPEND 2009
• June 18-23, 2009 - Athens, Greece

Most of critical activities in the areas of communications (telephone, Internet), energy & fluids (electricity, gas, water), transportation (railways, airlines, road), life related (health, emergency response, and security), manufacturing (chips, computers, cars) or financial (credit cards, on-line transactions), or refinery& chemical systems rely on networked communication and information systems. Moreover, there are other dedicated systems for data mining, recommenders, sensing, conflict detection, intrusion detection, or maintenance that are complementary to and interact with the former ones.

With large scale and complex systems, their parts expose different static and dynamic features that interact with each others; some systems are more stabile than others, some are more scalable, while others exhibit accurate feedback loops, or are more reliable or fault-tolerant.

Inter-system dependability and intra-system feature dependability require more attention from both theoretical and practical aspects, such as a more formal specification of operational and non-operational requirements, specification of synchronization mechanisms, or dependency exception handing. Considering system and feature dependability becomes crucial for data protection and recoverability when implementing mission critical applications and services.

Static and dynamic dependability, time-oriented, or timeless dependability, dependability perimeter, dependability models, stability and convergence on dependable features and systems, and dependability control and self-management are some of the key topics requiring special treatment. Platforms and tools supporting the dependability requirements are needed.

The international conference on dependability, DEPEND 2009, is based on the positive participation and feedback at DEPEND 2008 workshop that addressed new approaches dealing with today's limitations and potential solutions.

As a particular case, design, development, and validation of tools for incident detection and decision support became crucial for security and dependability in complex systems. It is challenging how these tools could span different time scales and provide solutions for survivability that range from immediate reaction to global and smooth reconfiguration through policy based management for an improved resilience. Enhancement of the self-healing properties of critical infrastructures by planning, designing and simulating of optimized architectures tested against several realistic scenarios is also aimed.

To deal with dependability, sound methodologies, platforms, and tools are needed to allow system adaptability. The balance dependability/adaptability may determine the life scale of a complex system and settle the right monitoring and control mechanisms. Particular challenging issues pertaining to context-aware, security, mobility, and ubiquity require appropriate mechanisms, methodologies, formalisms, platforms, and tools to support adaptability.

Improvement of the risk and crisis management in critical infrastructures is achieved by the design of new models, countermeasures, and incident management tools. These new models will help to mitigate the cascading and escalading effects induced by different kind of dependencies present in communication and information systems. Development of decision support tools for critical infrastructures should be validated by scenarios based on different case studies.

We are looking for contributions on the actual trends in coping with these new challenges within the research community and industry. We expect some lessons learnt and description of the results coming from different R&D projects (e.g., like ones in the EC 6th Framework Program), or any other worldwide initiatives. We hope we will be able to identify the gaps between the needs and today's available solutions along with new challenges and potential for future directions.

DEPEND 2009 will provide a forum for detailed exchange of ideas, techniques, and experiences with the goal of understanding the academia and the industry trends related to the new challenges in dependability on critical and complex information systems.

Researchers, designers and administrators, product and service developers, and other interested persons from academia, industry, and the government are welcome and encouraged to participate with unpublished contributions in areas including, but not limited to:

there are always 3 pnioting back at you!As a leader and mentors it is our responsibility to ensure that our team and others on which we rely know what expectations we have and are held accountable for what they say they are going to do. One only has time to help and grow with those who are dependable, those who are not could be left behind as the rest move forward. That is as it should be actually as a team is only as strong as its weakest link!But if we are leaders or mentors are not dependable or don't do what we expect of others then we shouldn't be surprised when we are standing alone and/or without our teams respect.What we do is ultimately up to us but all we do or don't for that matter has impact that can far out reach the matter at hand.Don't you find it difficult if not stressful to keeping depending on someone only to be let down and left doing their part in addition to what commitments you have made that others depend on you for? I find it takes away energy from the momentum forward needed for success and in helping others and that is not in the best long or short term interest of those who are dependable and deserving.

INSTRUCTION FOR THE AUTHORS

The DEPEND 2009 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and on-line via IEEE XPlore Digital Library. IEEE will index the papers with major indexes. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to one of the IARIA Journals.

Important deadlines

• Submission (full paper) January 20, 2009
• Authors notification February 25, 2009
• Registration March 15, 2009
• Camera ready March 20, 2009

Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page. Helpful information for paper formatting can be found on the here.

Once you receive the notification of paper acceptance, you will be provided by the IEEE CS Press an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.

Poster Forum

Posters on work-in-progress are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the track/workshop preference as "POSTER : Poster Forum". Contributors are invited to submit up to four-page papers, following the conference deadlines, describing early research and novel skeleton ideas in the areas of the conference topics.

Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations

The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will be published in the conference�??s CD collection, together with the regular papers. Please send your presentations to petre@iaria.org.

10 regular srmoeks were selected for the study. They were given a cycle each and asked to pedal at moderate speed, after they were abstained from nicotine intake for 15 hours. Then they were given FMRI (which refers to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans as they were shown 60 images. Among those pictures were some showing cigarettes to stimulate the craving in srmoeks. The next study was done on the same 10 people. They were given the same FMRI scan and the same photos were shown to them again. The brain images that were captured during both the studies show a substantial difference. In the second scan reports, patients display signs that indicated they craved for a smoke.

May I be white-list please? c:My s/n is the same: HayyCaseyEvery other seervr Ive been on the people have been rude and destroy other peoples shit, Just wanting to try different seervrs.Please and thanks :3

Committees

I hope the chair is much more comfortable that what you had bforee. I cannot believe that your company makes you buy your own chair if you want a decent one .
