CFP: JPDC Special Issue on Dependability and Scalability of Distributed Systems
by Ali Ebnenasir 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] ELSEVIER Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC), Special Issue on Dependability and Scalability of Distributed Systems in the Presence of Faults and Security Threats Web: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-c… <https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-c…> * Submissions are processed on an ongoing basis until February 5, 2023. * Important Dates: -Submission opening: September 10, 2022 -Submission deadline: February 5, 2023 -First notification date: April 20, 2023 (ten weeks for articles submitted before Feb. 5, 2023) -Submission deadline for revisions: June 30, 2023 -Final notification: August 5, 2023 * Theme and Scope: Parallel and Distributed Systems (PDS) play an important role in monitoring and controlling the infrastructure of our society, and form the backbone of many services we rely on (e.g., cloud services, air traffic management, power networks, e-commerce, etc.). Looking into the future with the advent of 5G/6G networks, the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technology, the scale and the ubiquity of distributed systems will only increase, resulting in Ultra-large scale PDS (UPDS). Due to their sheer scale, ensuring their dependability is a tremendous challenge, especially when multiple dependability aspects (e.g., fault tolerance and security) should be met simultaneously. As such, the underlying algorithms and protocols of UPDS must be correct, even in the presence of faults and security threats regardless of their scale. What makes this problem even more challenging is the advent of the IoT networks where dependability and scalability must be achieved under resource constraints. The design and verification of scalable and resource-constrained UPDS that meet their dependability requirements is therefore a grand challenge before the scientific communities, especially researchers in distributed computing and formal verification. The main objective of this special issue is to accelerate research at the intersection of distributed computing and formal verification towards developing tomorrow’s dependable and scalable ultra-large distributed systems. To this end, this special issue invites novel research contributions from researchers in academia and industry in (but not restricted to) the following areas: - Formal models of heterogeneous UPDS; - Formal models of dependable, resource-constrained, and scalable IoT networks; - Design methodologies for highly scalable distributed protocols/systems; - Methods for the design of PDS that are fault-tolerant and/or secure by design; - Design of correct, fault-tolerant, and secure UPDS in the presence of reconfiguration and resource constraints; - Methods for runtime monitoring of PDS; - Monitoring of dependability aspects in UPDS; - Verification and synthesis of parameterized distributed protocols, and - Verification and synthesis of fault-tolerant and secure parameterized protocols. * Guest Editors: - Dr. Ali Ebnenasir, Michigan Technological University, USA.

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 9th International Conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IOTSMS 2022) http://emergingtechnet.org/IOTSMS2022/index.php Milan, Italy. November 29th - December 1st, 2022. *IoTSMS 2022 CFP:* The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. The number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 30.9 billion by 2025. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 25 billion objects by 2025. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple microcontroller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near future. The scale of the IoT is set to have major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS 2022) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends. The IoTSMS aims to facilitate discussions among academics and IoT practitioners and make positive contributions to the field. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished manuscripts.
