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.ares-conf.org
-------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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 
or 
http://www.tinmith.net/tabletop2006/IEEE/Format/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.ares-conf.org/

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.
