The Second International Workshop on Dependability and Security of System Operation
(DSSO 2015) MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA Sept 28, 2015 In conjunction with 34TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON RELIABLE DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS(SRDS 2015). GOAL System operation is about setting up or changing a target system and/or its environment for purposes such as installation, upgrade, or reconfiguration. A system operation process may be executed by scripts, operations tools, code (as in “infrastructure as code”), or humans, usually based on some specification. A large amount of system downtime is caused by failures during a planned system operation or an operator incorrectly responding to a small initial error. With the rise of the Development-Operations (DevOps) and Continuous Deployment (CD) movements, the speed and frequency of system operation processes, the automation of these processes, and the possibility of concurrent and conflicting execution of several operations processes are all increasing. In the meantime, large-scale use of Infrastructure/Platforms as Services (IaaS/PaaS) and resource sharing in virtualisation introduce more uncertainties into the environment. Dependability and security issues can come from anywhere in the process – the specification, the code/scripts/tools/human involved, the target system, or the environment. Failures need to be prevented, detected, diagnosed, recovered from, or tolerated in the context of system operation processes. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss dependability and security issues of system operation and techniques to reduce the downtime caused by these issues. Topics include but are not limited to the following: Architectures or systems impact on operations Best practices and patterns in system operation Canary testing and production environment testing Dependability/Security in configuration management Dependability/Security in disaster recovery and business continuity Dependability/Security in Infrastructure as Code, Software Defined Infrastructure, Software Defined Networks Dependability/Security in operating HPC or big data processing (e.g. Hadoop/Spark) clusters Dependability/Security in release engineering, continuous build, integration, delivery, and deployment Development-Operation (DevOps) process interactions Experience reports and data analysis of real-world system operation Error diagnosis and root cause analysis during system operation Failure/Fault detection/prevention/tolerance during system operation Test driven system operations Tolerance of variability Operation-related machine data collection, storage and analytics PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Workshop paper submissions: June 21, 2015 Notification to authors: July 19, 2015 Camera-ready: July 29, 2015 The submission and review process will be done using EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dsso2015). Submissions must be no longer than 6 pages (including everything) and adhere to the IEEE Computer Society 8.5"x11" two-column camera-ready format. The manuscript templates for MS Word and LaTeX can be found at the following link: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 PC members and evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to the workshop.
