Fast Abstracts: Call for Contributions

A DSN Fast Abstract paper is a lightly reviewed, two-page technical article on new ideas, work in progress, or opinions relevant to dependable and secure systems and networks.

Contributions are particularly solicited from project teams, industrial practitioners, and academics who may not have been able to prepare and see full papers accepted for DSN, but nevertheless seek an opportunity to engage with, or get feedback from, the DSN community.

New this year: A best paper award will be given in the Fast Abstracts program.

Because they are brief and have a later deadline, Fast Abstract papers enable their authors to:

• Summarize work in progress
• Put forward novel or challenging ideas
• State positions on controversial issues
• Introduce new problems looking for a solution
• Suggest new approaches to the solution of open problems
• Lessons learned from large system development or deployment

Each presenter will be asked to give, in one of the plenary sessions, a short pitch of the paper, before the Fast Abs session.
