Call for Papers

SAFECOMP 2004

The 23rd International Conference on
Computer Safety, Reliability and Security

21-24 September 2004, Potsdam, Germany

www.safecomp.org

Since it was established in 1979, by The European Workshop on
Industrial Computer Systems, Technical Committee 7 on
Reliability, Safety and Security, EWICS TC7, SAFECOMP has
contributed to the progress of the state-of-the-art in
dependable applications of computer systems.

SAFECOMP is an annual event covering the state-of-the-art,
experience and new trends in the areas of computer safety,
reliability and security regarding dependable applications
of computer systems.

SAFECOMP provides ample opportunity to exchange insights and
experience on emerging methods and practical applications
across the borders of different disciplines.

Scope of the Conference

SAFECOMP focuses on safety-critical computer applications
and is a platform for knowledge and technology transfer
between academia, industry and research institutions.
Papers are invited on all aspects of dependability and
survivability of critical computer-based systems of systems
and infrastructures. Due to the increasing awareness and
importance of security issues, SAFECOMP 2004 emphasises work
in relation to security of safety-critical systems.
Nowadays practical experience points out the need of
multidisciplinary approaches to deal with the nature of
critical complex settings. SAFECOMP, therefore, is open to
multidisciplinary work enhancing our understanding across
disciplines.

SAFECOMP welcomes original work neither published nor
submitted elsewhere on both industrial and research experience.
Examples of industrial and research topics include:

Safety Foundations:
Fault Tolerance; Distributed and Real-time Systems;
Diversity; Maintenance; Reliability; Formal Methods;
Human Factors; Risk Analysis; Open Source Software and Safety;
Standards, Guidelines and Certification;
Commercial-Off-The-Shelf; Verification, Validation and Testing;
Analysis and Modelling; Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches

Safety Applications:
Aerospace and Avionics; Automotive; Medical Systems;
Power Plants; Railways; Robotics; Chemical Industry;
Process Industry; Programmable Electronic Systems;
Accident Reports and Management

Security in Safety-Critical Systems:
Conflicts, Interfaces, Integration Approaches between Safety,
Reliability and Security; Accidents caused by Security
Breaches; Critical National Information Infrastructures;
Security-critical Safety Applications

Paper Submission

Paper submissions are via the conference website;
submit full papers as portable document format (pdf) or
postscript (ps). Papers must clearly show the name, postal
address, email address, phone and fax number of the
contact author. 14 pages is the maximum admitted length
for submitted papers in the LNCS format; templates can be
found at Springer-Verlag website:

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/

Papers exceeding the above limit may be rejected without
review. Only papers neither published nor submitted elsewhere
may be submitted for publication. The following declaration
should be added to the submitted paper:

"All necessary clearances for the publication of this paper
have been obtained. If accepted, the author will prepare
the final manuscript in time for inclusion in the conference
proceedings and will present the paper at the conference."

Further information/instructions about submissions are on
the conference website. The language for all paper submissions
and presentations at the conference is English, and no
simultaneous translation will be provided.

Conference Proceedings and Journal Special Issue

After acceptance by the Programme Committee, the final paper
is required in electronic version according to the file
templates provided by the publisher. Accepted papers will
appear in the conference proceedings that will be distributed
at the conference. Springer-Verlag will publish the conference
proceedings in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS).

Extended and revised versions of the best papers accepted
for the Conference will be peer-reviewed and published in a
Special Issue of the international journal
Reliability Engineering and System Safety (RESS)
published by Elsevier:

http://www.elsevier.com/locate/ress/
