Fast Abstracts are short presentations of work in progress or opinion pieces (maximum 2 pages in standard template from the IEEE Computer Society). Fast Abstracts aim to serve as a rapid and flexible mechanism to:

    * Report on current work that may or may not be complete
    * Introduce new ideas to the community
    * State positions on controversial issues or open problems

Major Topics include, but are not limited to:

    * Architectures for Dependable Computer Systems
    * Security
    * Dependability of Mobile Systems
    * Architectures and Protocols for Computer Security
    * Dependability of High-Speed Networks
    * Dependability Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation
    * Dependability in VLSI
    * E-commerce and Web services Dependability
    * Fault Tolerance in Distributed & Real-Time Systems
    * Fault Tolerance in Multimedia Systems
    * Fault Tolerance in Transaction Processing
    * Hardware and Software Testing, Verification and Validation
    * Information Assurance, Survivability, and Intrusion Tolerance
    * Internet Dependability and Quality of Service
    * Safety-Critical Systems
    * Software Reliability Engineering
    * Dependability Benchmarking

Contributions are welcome from academia and industry. Participants in this track will present a short talk and publish a two-page abstract in the Supplement to the proceedings of the Sixth European Dependable Computing Conference. A Fast Abstract must be submitted in its final form, ready to be printed. Fast Abstracts are limited to 2 pages, and the authors are required to follow the IEEE Computer Society templates and instructions (IEEE double-column format). Submissions must be made electronically, in either PDF or PostScript format.

Fast Abstracts will not be refereed. Instead, the Fast Abstracts Chair and the Conference Program Chair will lightly screen the submissions. The criteria for acceptance will be: i) relevance and interest to the community, and ii) arrival time. Therefore, authors are encouraged to send their submission well in advance before the final deadline. We will accept as many Fast Abstracts as possible, the amount is limited by the available presentation time at the conference. By submitting a Fast Abstract, you are committing yourself or one of your colleagues to present it at the conference.
