Workshop on Systems Resilience

Purpose and Scope

A resilient system is a system that can, in the face of unknown, large-scale events, recover from the failures and maintain its functions. It is known that many systems, such as biological systems, human mind, social  systems,  and  dependable  engineering  systems  exhibit  this property.  However,  it  is  not  clear  how  we  should  identify  general “resilience”  properties  or  strategies  applicable  to  systems  in  many different  domains.  The  purpose  of  this  workshop  is  to  bring  the insights from various fields of resilient systems and explore common research  challenges  and  design principles  in  the  new  discipline  of “systems resilience.”

Topics of Interest

The workshop addresses (but is not limited to) the following topics:

  • Resilience definitions and metrics
  • Risk management and vulnerability analysis in complex systems
  • Case studies for resilient or non-resilient systems
  • Recovery-oriented and autonomic computing
  • Self-healing systems
  • Bio-inspired adaptation and diversification techniques
  • Resilient networks
  • Modeling and simulation techniques for resilient systems
  • Business continuity plan and dynamic policy management
  • Human factors in resilient systems
  • Organizational or social resilience

Important Dates

Workshop: June 24, 2013

Submission

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published  or  that  are  simultaneously  submitted  to  a  journal  or  a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 8 pages in  the  IEEE  Computer  Society  two-column  camera-ready format. You should prepare your paper either with the Word template or the Latex package available at www.computer.org. The workshop will also consider short submissions of up to 4 pages for position papers. Submissions must be made electronically as a single Portable Document Format (PDF) file via the workshop submission site at www.softconf.com. Accepted submissions will be included in the DSN 2013 proceedings and on IEEE Xplore as workshop papers.
