IEEE DASC 2017 will be held in November 6-10, 2017 in Orlando, Florida, USA, co-located with CyberSciTech 2017, IEEE DataCom 2017 and IEEE PiCom 2017 (the event location is very close to the Walt Disney World, which is in walking distance). IEEE DASC 2017 aims to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the areas of dependability, security, trust and/or autonomic computing systems. ---------------------------------SCOPE AND INTERESTS--------------------------- Topics of particular interests include the following tracks, but are not limited to: Autonomic Computing Theory, Models, Architectures and Communications Cloud Computing and Fog/edge Computing with Autonomic and Trusted Environment Dependable Automatic Control Techniques and Systems Dependability Models and Evaluation Algorithms Dependable Sensors, Devices, Embedded Systems Dependable Electronic-Mechanical Systems, Optic-Electronic Systems Self-improvement in Dependable Systems Self-healing, Self-protection and Fault-tolerant Systems Hardware and Software Reliability, Verification and Testing Software Engineering for Dependable Systems Safety-critical Systems in Transportation and Power System Security Models and Quantifications Trusted P2P, Web Service, SoA, SaaS, EaaS, and PaaS Self-protection and Intrusion-detection in Security DRM, Watermarking Technology, IP Protection Context-aware Access Control Virus Detections and Anti-Virus Techniques/Software Cyber Attack, Crime and Cyber War Human Interaction with Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems Security, Dependability and Autonomic Issues in Ubiquitous Computing Security, Dependability and Autonomic Issues in Cyber-Physical System Security, Dependability and Autonomic Issues in Big Data, SDN, and IoT Systems QoS in Communications and Services Information and System Security Reliable Computing and Trusted Computing Wireless Emergency and Security Systems Information Technology in Biomedicine Multimedia Security Issues over Mobile and Wireless Networks Multimedia in Mobile Computing: Issues, System Design and Performance Evaluation Software Architectures and Design for Emerging Systems Software Engineering for Emerging Networks, Systems, and Mobile Systems ---------------------------IMPORTANT DATES--------------------------- Workshop/Special Session Proposal Due: February 28, 2017 Paper Submission Deadline: May 10, 2017 Author Notification: July 10, 2017 Demo/Poster Submission Due: July 20, 2017 Author Notification: July 30, 2017 Camera-ready Paper Due: August 15, 2017 Registration Due: August 15, 2017 --------------SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION INFORMATION---------------------------- Papers should be prepared in IEEE CS Proceedings format and submitted via DASC 2017 website: http://cse.stfx.ca/~dasc2017/sub/ - Research paper (8 pages) should explore a specific technology problem and propose a complete solution to it, with experimental results. - Demo/Poster papers (2~4 pages) must describe working systems and be within the scope of DASC and should be submitted to the Poster/Demo Chair. - Workshop and Special Session papers need to be submitted to the corresponding workshops and special sessions. * Once accepted, the paper will be included into the IEEE conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press (EI indexed). * At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is required to register and present the paper at the conference. * Extended versions of selected excellent papers will be considered for fast-track publication in special issues of prestige journals (SCI/EI indexed). --------------------------------Organizing Committees-------------------------- Honorary Chair: Stephen S.
