                         CALL FOR PAPERS

 20th IEEE  Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS'2001)

                 October 28-31, 2001 (tentative)
                        New Orleans, USA

               Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society

  Please  see  http://srds.cs.umn.edu   for latest information
                       on this symposium.

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

The  objective of this symposium is to provide an effective forum
for  researchers  and  practitioners  who   are   interested   in
distributed  systems  design  and  development, particularly with
reliability,  availability,  safety,   security,   or   real-time
properties.   We  welcome  original  research  papers  as well as
papers that deal with development  experiences  and  experimental
results  of  operational  systems.  We are also soliciting papers
for  an  experience  track  that  presents  on-going   industrial
projects,    prototype    systems,    exploratory   or   emerging
applications, etc.

following topics:

* Distributed systems with reliability, availability,
  security, safety, and/or real-time requirements
* Distributed databases and transaction processing
* Parallel and distributed operating systems
* Internet-based systems and applications
* Mobile and ubiquitous computing
* Distributed multimedia systems
* Electronic commerce and enabling technologies
* Distributed workflow and enterprise management systems
* Security and high confidence systems
* QoS control and assessment
* Analytical or experimental assessment of distributed systems
