ARES CONFERENCE
************
The 18th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (“ARES – The International Dependability Conference”) will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of dependability.

ARES...
...highlights the various aspects of dependability – with special focus on the crucial linkage between availability, reliability and security.

...aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of dependability as an integrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, confidentiality, integrity, maintainability and security in the different fields of applications.

...emphasizes the interplay between foundations and practical issues of dependability in emerging areas such as e-government, m-government, location-based applications, ubiquitous computing, autonomous computing, chances of grid computing etc.

...is devoted to the critical examination and research challenges of the various aspects of Dependable Computing and the definition of a future road map.

The acceptance rate of the ARES 2022 conference was 21,73% (full papers only). ARES 2022 was published by the International Conference Proceedings Series published by ACM (ACM ICPS).

ARES is ranked as B-conference in CORE.

SUBMISSION
************
Last year, ARES 2022 was published by the International Conference Proceedings Series published by ACM (ACM ICPS). The same is planned this year (to be confirmed).
The ARES submission system (EasyChair) is available here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ares2023.

Authors are invited to submit research and application papers according the following guidelines:

For the main conference as well as the workshops, submission papers are classified into 4 categories representing original, previously unpublished work:
- full paper (10 pages, plus up to 2 pages of references)
- short paper (6 pages, plus up to 1 page of references)
- systematization of Knowledge (SoK) paper (10 pages, plus up to 2 pages of references)
- workshop paper (8 pages, a maximum of 10 pages is tolerated)

Formating Instructions / template:
- Please read the instructions here: https://www.ares-conference.eu/conference/submission/
- References need to start with a new page!
Double blind review: ARES requires anonymized submissions – please make sure that submitted papers contain no author names or obvious self-references.
Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference.

Publishing preprints to Arxiv or other, open repositories is allowed prior to the notification of ARES and does not violate the requirement for novelty. Reviewers will be asked to not search for and ignore preprints that can deanonymize blinded submission.
Important Note:
To avoid accepting papers for ARES 2023 which are not presenting original work, your paper will be plagiarism checked by Docoloc Plagarism Check. Self-plagiarism also counts as plagiarism!
In case you include previous work in your paper make sure to add the sources accordingly. In case you have questions regarding self-plagiarism please send us an email (ares@sba-research.org). If you don’t want your paper to be checked automatically please contact us.
