Annual IEEE Workshop on Fault-Tolerant Parallel and Distributed Systems
                -FTPDS02

		April 19, 2002 

Marriott Marina, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA

Held in conjunction with the International Parallel and
Distributed Processing Symposium

Theme

Increasingly large parallel computing systems provide unique challenges to
the researchers in dependable computing, especially because of the high
failure rates intrinsic to these systems. While commercial and scientific
companies share the need for   massive throughput and low latency, 
dependability of service is also a concern.
In addition to providing uninterrupted service, commercial systems must be 
free from data corruption. Achieving dependability in highly scalable parallel
and distributed systems  poses a considerable challenge.
As the number of components increases, so does the probability of a component
failure. Therefore, improved fault-tolerant technology is required for high
scalable parallel and distributed systems. 

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and
practitioners to discuss issues related to these issues of fault-tolerant
parallel and distributed systems. All aspects
of design, theory and realization of parallel and distributed systems are of
interest. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Dependable distributed systems

- Fault-tolerant  protocols for distributed systems

- Fault tolerance in clusters of workstations and PCs

- Fault-tolerant interconnection networks

- Fault-tolerant parallel programming

- Using COTS  for designing dependable network based computing systems

- Portable checkpointing for heterogeneous distributed systems

- Fault injection in parallel and distributed systems

- Dependability evaluation of fault-tolerant parallel and distributed systems

- Dependable Biocomputing

- Dependable Quantum Computing
