The Fifteenth International Workshop on Assurance in Distributed Systems
and
Networks (ADSN2016)
http://adsn.net.info.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp/CallforPapers-ADSN2016.pdf

Nara, JAPAN　　June 27 - 30, 2016
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on
Distributed
Processing in cooperation with the IEICE Communications Society
Technical
Committee on Information Networks and the IEICE Information and Systems
Society Technical Committee on Dependable Computing (approval pending)

ADSN 2016 will be held in conjunction with the 36th International
Conference
on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2016), Nara, JAPAN, June 27 - 30,
2016. (see for detail http://www-higashi.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/icdcs2016/　).
ADSN 2016 is the fifteenth edition of this International Workshop
demonstrating its long-term continuity and continuously received
recognition. The objective of the Workshop is to provide an effective
forum
for original scientific and engineering advances in Assurance in
Distributed
Systems and Networks. Along with recent rapid growth of the Internet and
ubiquitous networks, applications for autonomous decentralized systems
are
emerging in many important areas like transportation, automotive systems,
smart energy grids and E-commerce to name a few. In these distributed
systems and networks, heterogeneous requirements are independently
generated
and the requirements themselves are frequently changing. Assurance in
these
distributed systems and networks is defined as capability of
guaranteeing
functional and non- functional system properties such as dependability,
security, timeliness and adaptivity to heterogeneous and changing
requirements. The workshop theme is critical in meeting ever more
demanding
requirements for assurance in systems and networks. Technologies
supporting
assurance including integration of various fields such as real time,
fault
tolerance, autonomy, mobility and intelligence will have to be
incorporated
in complex distributed systems and networks.

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
-Assurance technologies for new generation networks -Assurance in
cooperative embedded, grid, and cloud computing systems -Assurance in
service-oriented and web-service based computing systems -Heterogeneous
systems coexistence and consistency technologies -Network control (QoS,
QoE,
CoS, etc) technologies for assurance -Self-stabilization and sensor
networks
assurance -Real-time technology assurance -Agents technologies for
assurance
-Assurance in safety-critical automotive and avionic systems -Software
and
hardware technologies for assurance in intelligent transportation
systems,
train control, and space computers -System life-cycle assurance in
specification, design, implementation, testing, verification, and
validation
-Security technologies for assurance -System management and proactive
fault
management technologies for assurance -Technologies for achieving high
assurance in complex systems
