The 8th International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing (DASC-09)
Chengdu, China
December 12-14, 2009

Call for Workshops

The DASC'09 workshops provide vibrant opportunities for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research positions, original research findings and practical development experiences on specific new challenges and emerging issues.

The organizers and chairs of the workshop shall have full control on the call for papers, forming of program committees, review and selection of papers as well as planning the workshop program. The chairs must state in the workshop CFP as "Submitting a paper to the workshop means that if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. For no-show authors, their papers will be removed from the digital library after the conference." The registration fees for workshops will be determined by the conference (not the workshop itself). The fees will be paid to the conference, and the conference will provide workshop facilities including the working notes printing, the meeting room, coffee break, lunch, proceedings, etc. Any further expense of the workshop such as the financial aid to the invited speakers MUST be provided by the workshop itself upon getting some sponsors for their own workshops. The money from workshop sponsors will be received by the workshop itself.

The workshop with more than 15 papers accepted will be granted with a free complimentary registration for the leading workshop organizer.

Prospective workshop organizers should send a proposal containing the following information to DASC'09 Workshop Chairs.

- Full name and acronym of the workshop

- URL of the workshop web site

- A short description (about 100 words) of the workshop
