1st Workshop on Resilience Engineering in Computer Systems
(RECS 2024)
The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 13th Latin-American Symposium on Dependable and Secure Computing (LADC 2024 – 13th Latin-American Symposium on Dependable and Secure Computing, Recife – Brazil, Nov 26-29th), in Recife, Brazil, November 26-29, 2024
Scope
Resilience is the ability to build and sustain a system that can deal effectively with disruptive events. Resilience finds applications across various domains within the engineering and social sciences, including the spectrum of computer systems employed to automate processes, manage data, and ensure efficient operations of essential services such as water, agriculture, energy, transportation, healthcare, and national security.
The Workshop on Resilience Engineering in Computer Systems (RECS 2025) will assemble academic, industry, and government subject matter experts from the various established and emerging disciplines, including junior researchers, to facilitate discussions on challenges and opportunities in designing, implementing, and evaluating resilient computer systems that can withstand disruptions and threats while maintaining functionality and security across diverse domains.
Key research questions include:
(i) How to plan, implement, and evaluate changes to prevent or reduce negative effects on computer systems.
(ii) How to combine and balance qualitative and quantitative methods effectively.
(iii) How to thoroughly compare different options and their tradeoffs to find acceptable solutions for everyone involved.
(iv) How to create incentives that encourage behaviors aligning with shared but adaptable future goals.
Join us in raising societal awareness and supporting the development of resilient computer systems for a stronger, more secure future!
Call for Papers
We invite submissions of previously unpublished work for 20-minute presentations or work-in-progress poster presentations. Topics of interest include but are not limited to, the following:
· Novel mathematical formulations and frameworks
· Resilience and its relationship to traditional quantitative and qualitative risk management methods
· Case studies from any domain emphasizing a system or process perspective (e.g. fault tolerance in high-performance computing)
· Methods for design and verification of resilience as a system attribute
· Test and evaluation (T&E) methods to assure resilience
· Resilience within multidisciplinary computer systems and processes
All papers presented in RECS 2025 will be published in the SBC Open Library.
