SUMMARY:15th Workshop on Dependability and Fault Tolerance (VERFE'19)
DESCRIPTION:**Background and Focus** \n\nAlthough the basic reliability of 
 hardware and software components has improved over decades, their increasin
 g number causes severe problems. Moreover, in recent years it can be observ
 ed that an increasing number of devices are integrated into environments of
  other physical components such as cars or digital systems. Here, the compl
 exity and number of interactions with these components creates problems wit
 h regard to maintaining a dependable operation of the entire system in case
  of faults or external disturbances. While this is not a problem with micro
 processors, shrinking feature sizes, higher complexity, lower voltages, and
  higher clock frequencies increase the probability of design-, manufacturin
 g-, and operational faults, making fault tolerance techniques in general pu
 rpose processors to be of crucial importance in the future. As simple solut
 ions (such as TMR) can easily get too expensive, the ability to trade incre
 ased reliability against performance/power overhead will become important, 
 resulting in light-weight fault tolerance techniques implemented in hardwar
 e, but controllable from higher software layers.\n\nThis workshop aims at p
 resenting contributions and work-in-progress from the research area of depe
 ndable and fault-tolerant computing in order to bring together scientists w
 orking in related fields.\n\n**Topics** \n\nContributions on the topic of “
 Dependable Embedded Systems“ are of particular interest; contributions on g
 eneral topics of dependability and fault tolerance are also welcome but not
  limited to:\n\n- reliability models for hardware and software\n\n- modelin
 g and simulation of fault-tolerant systems\n\n- fault-tolerant systems and 
 system components\n\n- testing of hardware and software\n\n- failure predic
 tion and fault treatment\n\n- detection and correction of transient faults\
 n\n- quantitative assessment of reliability improvements\n\n- safety-critic
 al applications\n\n- timeliness problems\n\n- dependability of networks\n\n
 - dependability of embedded systems\n\n- highly available systems\n\n- depe
 ndable organic computing\n\n- self-organization within redundant systems\n\
 n- dependable ubiquitous and pervasive computing\n\n- composability of depe
 ndable systems\n\n- dependable mechatronic systems / micro systems\n\n- dep
 endability of mobile and wireless systems\n\n- robustness and robustness me
 trics\n\n- validation and verification\n\n- fault models and fault abstract
 ion\n\n- fault injection techniques\n\n- software-controlled fault toleranc
 e\n\n- on-chip backward recovery techniques (e.g. pipeline flush and\n\nre-
 execution)\n\n- forward recovery techniques (notification of higher layers)
 \n\n- fault-tolerant caching mechanisms\n\n- dynamic re-use of currently un
 used resources in processors for fault-tolerance\n\nThe workshop will focus
  on research presentations as well as brainstorming sessions. Therefore, tw
 o kinds of contributions are welcome:\n\n- research papers documenting resu
 lts of scientific investigations and\n\n- position papers proposing strateg
 ies or discussing open problems.\n\n\n\n**Informations for Authors**\n\nAcc
 epted papers will be published by VDE and IEEExplore.\n\nPapers should be i
 n English and formatted according to\n\n[IEEE eXpress “conference mode”]\n\
 n(http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.h
 tml).\n\nSelected papers will appear in the FERS Journal (ISSN 0724-5319).
