**********************************************************************

PRDC 2021 is the twenty-sixth event in the series of symposia started
in 1989 that are devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing.
PRDC is recognized as the main event in the Pacific area that covers
many dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing
fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects,
and commercial components and systems. As applications of computing
systems have permeated into all aspects of daily life, the dependabil-
ity of computing systems has become increasingly critical. This sympo-
sium provides a forum for countries around the Pacific Rim and other
areas of the world to exchange ideas for improving the dependability
of computing systems.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

-Software and hardware reliability, testing, verification, and
  validation
-Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools
-Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems
-Software aging and rejuvenation
-Safety-critical and mixed-criticality systems and software
-Architecture and system design for dependability
-Fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols
-Dependability and security in web and mobile applications
-Cloud computing resiliency, security and privacy
-(Industrial) Internet of things dependability, security and privacy
-Dependability issues in computer networks and communications
-Dependability issues in high performance computing
-Dependability issues in real-time systems
-Dependability issues in storage and databases systems
-Dependability issues in cyber-physical systems and Industry 4.0
-Dependability issues in socio-technical systems
-Dependability and security in AI and machine learning systems
-Blockchain and smart contracts

Submission and Publication Information

Manuscripts should be submitted in the following two categories:
Regular Papers and Practical Experience Reports.
Regular Papers should describe original research (not submitted or
published elsewhere) and be not more than 10 pages using IEEE Computer
Society conference format. Practical Experience Reports (max 6 pages
using IEEE format guidelines) should describe an experience or a case
study, such as the design and deployment of a system or actual failure
and recovery field data.

All submissions must be made electronically (in PDF format) on the
submission website:

       https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=prdc2021

Please note that all submissions will undergo a double-blind review.
Please ensure that you have removed any references that could lead to
identifying the authors of the paper. Failure to do so may result in
rejection of the paper regardless of the paper contributions. Papers
will be reviewed internationally and selected based on their original-
ity, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation.

All accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press
(EI Indexed). One outstanding paper will be selected to receive the
Best Paper Award, and one outstanding paper first authored by a stude-
nt will receive the Best Student Paper Award.
