The Tenth International Workshop on Assurance in Distributed Systems and Networks (ADSN 2011)

Hiroshima, Japan, March 26-27, 2011
http://adsn.net.info.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp/
This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 10th International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS 2011)
(http://www.isads2011.info.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp/)

The objective of the Workshop is to provide an effective forum for original scientific and engineering advances in Assurance in Distributed Systems and Networks. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of ADSN, a special section on Assurance for New Generation Network is being planned. Concerning this section, a keynote address, a panel discussion, and a special session will be organized.

Along with rapid growth of the Internet cloud computing and ubiquitous networks, autonomous decentralized systems are connected with each other. In these distributed systems and networks, heterogeneous requirements are independently generated and the requirements themselves are frequently changing. Assurance in these distributed systems and networks is defined as capability of guaranteeing functional and nonfunctional system properties such as dependability, security, timeliness and adaptivity to heterogeneous and changing requirements.

The workshop theme is critical in meeting ever more demanding requirements for assurance in systems and networks, especially in the future Internet and ubiquitous networks. Technologies supporting assurance including integration of various technologies such as real time, fault tolerance, autonomy, mobility and intelligence will have to be incorporated in complex distributed systems and networks.

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

Papers and Submissions

Papers must be written in English, and they have to be Postscript, PDF, or Word format. The complete manuscript should be no more than 6 pages following IEEE conference proceedings style and guidelines. The following information must be provided on a cover sheet:
