Call for Workshops

The European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC) is a unique forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their latest research results on theory, techniques, systems, and tools for the design, validation, operation and evaluation of dependable and secure computing systems.

Traditionally one-day workshops precede the main conference: the purpose of the workshops is to provide a forum for exchanging opinions, presenting novel ideas, and discussing preliminary results in an interactive atmosphere. Each workshop can be half-day or one-day event.

Proposal submission

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit a proposal including the following:

  • The title of the workshop;
  • A 150- to 200-word abstract, suitable for the conference website;
  • Themes and goals, and relevance to the EDCC community;
  • Information about the procedure for selecting papers and/or presentations, plans for dissemination and publication, and expected number of participants;
  • Preference for a half/one-day format;
  • Information about previous editions of the same workshop, if any;
  • Organizers and a list of foreseen Technical Program Committee (TPC) members and their affiliations;
  • Names and brief bios of organizers, including their past experience in organizing workshops and/or conferences in the field.

Proposals should not exceed three pages in pdf format and should be sent to the EDCC workshop chair: Stefano Marrone (stefano[DOT]marrone[AT]unicampania[DOT]it).

About workshop organization

Workshop organizers are responsible for setting up an international Technical Program Committee, independent of the one of the main conference. They may select a TPC chair(s) or chair the TPC themselves. Responsibilities of the workshop and TPC chairs include preparing and spreading a call for papers, attract high-quality submissions, set up the reviewing and selection process and assemble the workshop program. Workshops are expected to use their own website, which will be linked from the EDCC website. If a workshop wishes to have proceedings, workshop chairs will be responsible for the publication process with initial assistance from the EDCC organization committee. Note that it is by no means mandatory to have proceedings with a workshop, and organizers are free to favor other forms of communications, as long as the selection of presenters follows a competitive peer review process and that abstracts are available on-line prior to the event.

Evaluation criteria

  • Relevance to EDCC
  • Timeliness and expected interest in the topic
  • Organizers’ ability to lead a successful workshop
  • Balance and synergy with other EDCC events
