Deadlines:
Abstract Submission: February 1, 2002 (see call for submissions page for details)
Paper Submission: February 15, 2002
Notification: March 30, 2002
Camera ready final versions: April 22, 2002

Accepted workshop papers will be published in the Supplement of the 2002 International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks.

Contributions are solicited in the following areas:

As a workshop, contributions are welcome and encouraged that present a wide variety of perspectives. Substantive discussions of ideas, proposed approaches, reference models, and taxonomies are welcome, as are preliminary results that are not yet ready for full regular papers on the DSN regular paper track. These papers are meant to set forth important ideas and, ideally, document issues and possible solutions for core problems in the area of dependability benchmarking. The review criteria will emphasize the importance of the issue and quality of representing contrasting views rather than attainment of concrete technical results. The main author of accepted papers will be expected to attend and make a workshop presentation.

Papers should be submitted via e-mail to BOTH addresses: koopman@ece.cmu.edu ; henrique@dei.uc.pt
If you are unable to submit materials electronically, please contact one of the program co-chairs for special instructions.

Papers should be submitted in either Postscript or Adobe Acrobat formats. All papers must be in English. Format details are below
