Call for Fast Abstracts Papers

Fast Abstracts are lightly-reviewed manuscripts 2 pages in IEEE double-column format (excluding references and appendices) describing unpublished, in-progress, novel work, opinions or ideas.

• Software and hardware reliability, resilience, safety, security, testing, verification, and validation.
• Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems.
• Architecture and system design for dependability
• Dependability issues in computing systems (e.g. computer networks and communications, high performance computing, real-time systems, storage and databases systems, cyber-physical systems, socio-technical systems, and blockchain and smart contracts).
• Emerging technologies (artificial intelligence (e.g., deep learning, large language models), autonomous systems including autonomous vehicles, human machine teaming, smart devices/Internet of Things)

Submission Guidelines

Fast Abstracts should be 2 pages in length, must be formatted using IEEE double-column format (the same format as regular papers as above). The submitted Fast Abstracts must be in .pdf format and completely ready for printing. Please note that all submissions will undergo a double-blind review.

To upload your paper, please use the EasyChair site. For any technical issues faced during submission, please contact Jin Hong, University of Western Australia, Australia.

Selection and Notification

Submissions will be lightly-reviewed primarily on the basis of relevance to PRDC, but also on their capacity to stimulate and intrigue the reader. An author of an accepted contribution will deliver a short talk (five to ten minutes) in the Fast Abstracts track at the conference. All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (EI Indexed). Submission of a contribution to the track indicates agreement to have one author present the work, if accepted, at the conference. All accepted fast abstracts will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
