on this symposium.
************************************************************************
The objective of this symposium is to provide an effective forum
for researchers and practitioners who are interested in
distributed systems design and development, particularly with
reliability, availability, safety, security, or real-time
properties. We welcome original research papers as well as
papers that deal with development experiences and experimental
results of operational systems. We are also soliciting papers
for an experience track that presents on-going industrial
projects, prototype systems, exploratory or emerging
applications, etc.
