The First International Conference on Availability, Reliability and
Security (AReS)
ARES 2006 - "The International Dependability Conference- Bridging
Theory and Practice"

April, 20th – April, 22nd 2006
Vienna University of Technology
http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/ares2006
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In conjunction with AINA 2006 (The IEEE 20th International
Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (
http://www.aina-conference.org/2006/)

Objectives
----------

The First International Conference on Availability, Reliability and
Security ("ARES 2006 – The International Dependability Conference")
will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of
dependability.

ARES 2006 will highlight the various aspects of dependability -
especially on the crucial linkage between availability, reliability,
and security.

ARES 2006 aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research
issues of dependability as an integrative concept that covers
amongst others availability, safety, confidentiality, integrity,
maintainability and security in the different fields of applications.

ARES 2006 will emphasize on the interplay between foundations and
practical issues of dependability in emerging areas such as e-
government, m-government, location-based applications, ubiquitous
computing, autonomous computing, chances of grid computing etc.

ARES 2006 is devoted to the critical examination and research
challenges of the various aspects of Dependable Computing and the
definition of a future road map.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Secure Enterprise Architectures
(Process based) Security Models / Methods
Risk planning, analysis & awareness
Availability and Reliability
Reliability Models
Failure Prevention
Dependability Assessment
Standards, Guidelines and Certification
Common Criteria Protocol

Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Authors are invited to submit research and application papers
following the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two
columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10
fonts, and number each page. You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society
Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page:

URL: http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm

Submission papers are classified into 3 categorizes (1) full paper (8
pages), (2) short paper (5 pages), and (3) poster (2 pages)
representing original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers
will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance,
technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

Contact author must provide the following information at the AReS2006
web site: paper title, authors' names, affiliations, postal address,
phone, fax, and e-mail address of the author(s), about 200-250 word
abstract, and about five keywords. Prepare your paper in PDF file and
submit it at our web site:

URL: http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/ares2006/

Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at
least one of the authors will register and present the paper in the
conference. Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and
submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of
acceptance.

Proceedings of the ARES 2006 conference will be published by IEEE
Computer Society Press. Based on quality and referee reviews, some
papers not suitable for acceptance as full paper will be accepted for
presentation at ARES 2006 in Poster category and will be also included
in the IEEE Proceedings. The best papers selected by ARES 2006 program
committee out of papers accepted for presentation at ARES 2006 will be
further published in some International journals.
