Call for Papers
LADC is the Latin-American event oriented to disseminate computer system dependability and security research advances. This year, LADC 2019 will be held in conjunction with the IX Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering (SBESC) in Natal, Brazil from the 19th to the 21st of November 2019.
The LADC symposium scope includes all the aspects of both dependability and security, as well as research on the technological challenges that they entail for the design, verification and validation and maintenance of systems, software, and hardware.
The main track at LADC 2019 will comprise original, unpublished research papers in three categories:
- full research (regular) papers (1)
- practical experience reports (2)
- short papers (3)
LADC looks for works exploring new territories, continuing a significant research, or reflecting on practical experience. Full research papers should explore technology problems and propose a complete solution with results. Practical experience reports are expected to provide an in-depth exposition of practitioner experiences and empirical studies. Short papers should present preliminary research work (position papers), or a prototype/tool description, outlining the architecture, implementation and usage of substantive operational systems or tools for the research and practice of dependable and secure systems. Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each category.
Topics
Authors are invited to submit original contributions on all aspects of research and practice on creating, validating, deploying, and maintaining dependable and secure systems.
Major topics include, but are not limited to:
- Fault tolerant hardware architectures, multi-core systems, virtualization, nanoscale computers, hardware dependability assessment.
- Fault-tolerant algorithms and distributed systems.
- Dependability of networks (LAN, WAN, mobile, ad-hoc, sensor networks, protocols, SDN, Network Slicing).
- Dependability of software architectures, runtime monitoring, adaptation, model-driven engineering for the design of dependable and secure systems, testing, verification & validation.
- Dependability and security in the era of Big Data.
- Dependability and security of cyber-physical systems and systems of systems, communication networks and protocols, data storage and databases.
- Dependability and human issues, human-computer interaction, management of complex systems.
- Security foundations, policies, protocols, access control, intrusion detection, intrusion tolerance.
- Safety-critical systems and applications, incidents & accidents, risk perception, analysis and management, software certification.
- Dependability and security modeling, measurement and benchmarking.
- Maintenance, tuning of performance and availability, security configuration (including cloud-slicing).
- Dependability and security on cloud/edge/fog-computing
Publication and Selection of Distinguished Papers
The LADC proceedings will be archived in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. A Best Paper Award among the submitted works is also a tradition in LADC.
Also, authors of selected LADC papers will be invited to submit an extended and enhanced version of their papers to a special issue of “The Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society” (Confirmed) or to the Thematic Series on Advances in Dependable Computing and Networking of the “Journal of Internet Services and Applications”. Both journals are published by SpringerOpen, and are indexed by Scopus.
Submission Guidelines
Papers must be written in English. Research Papers, Practical Experience Reports, and Short Papers should be respectively no longer than 10 pages, 6 pages and 4 pages, following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings. The category of the paper should be clearly marked in the first page. Authors are requested to first register their submissions and then submit their manuscripts in PDF format at the JEMS webpage. JEMS limits to a maximum of 8 authors per paper. More than 8 authors is allowed, but must be indicated to the TPC chairs after acceptance notification.
Important Dates
Regular Papers and Practical Experience Reports and Short Papers:
Abstract submission: August 16, 2019. Full paper submission: August 16, 2019. Author notification: September 29, 2019.- Camera-Ready: October 14, 2019.
Note: Before uploading the camera-ready file, authors must confirm Registration. To this end, at least one author per accepted paper must register as either Student (with add of Publication Fee -- indicated by ECOS registration system) or Professional (Publication fee already included), and then upload the corresponding invoice file dated before Oct 14th (or confirmation e-mail) through the JEMS paper dashboard. The cameraready file upload will be available in JEMS after registration approval by TPC co-chairs.
