       *15th European Dependable Computing Conference*
            17-20 September 2019, Naples, Italy

Important Dates
 - Workshop proposal submission: January 25, 2019
 - Workshop acceptance notification: January 31, 2019.


EDCC 2019 is the 15th European Dependable Computing Conference. It will be
held in Napoli, Italy on September 17-20, 2019. EDCC is a unique forum for
researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their latest research
results on theory, techniques, systems, and tools for the design,
validation, operation and evaluation of dependable and secure computing
systems. Traditionally, the main conference is preceded with two days of
workshops. The purpose of workshops is to provide a forum for exchanging
opinions, presenting ideas, and discussing preliminary results in an
interactive atmosphere.

Workshops are half-day or one-day events which are held before the main
conference (September 17). If necessary, they can run in parallel with the
main conference on Sep. 18 or 19.

Workshop chairs are responsible for setting up an international technical
program committee, independent of the one of the main conference. They may
select a TPC chair(s) or chair the TPC themselves. Responsibilities of the
workshop and TPC chairs include preparing and spreading a call for papers,
attract high-quality submissions, set up the reviewing and selection
process and assemble the workshop program. Workshops are expected to use
their own website, which will be linked from the EDCC website. If a
workshop wishes to have proceedings, workshop chairs will be responsible
for the publication process with initial assistance from the EDCC
organization committee. Note that it is by no means mandatory to have
proceedings with a workshop, and organizers are free to favor other forms
of communications, as long as the selection of presenters follows a
competitive peer review process and that abstracts are available online
prior to the event.

*Proposal Submission*

Proposals must not exceed three pages in PDF and must be sent to EDCC
workshop chair Nuno Antunes (nmsa at dei.uc.pt). Proposals should have the
following structure:


   - Title of the workshop;
   - A 150- to 200-word abstract, suitable for the conference website;
   - Themes and goals, and relevance to the EDCC community;
   - Information about the procedure for selecting papers and/or
   presentations, plans for dissemination and publication, and expected number
   of participants;
   - Preference for half/one/two-day format;
   - Information about previous editions of the same workshop, if any;
   - Organizers and a list of foreseen Program Committee members and their
   affiliations;
   - Names and briefbios of organizers, including their past experience in
   organizing workshops and/or conferences in the field.

Other dates (paper submission deadline, notification, camera ready) will be
discussed and decided as a consensus between workshop organizers and the
EDCC organization committee, prior to any diffusion of a call for paper or
communications. Selected workshops are expected to set up a website and
issue these calls before the 15 of February 2019.

*Evaluation Criteria*
- Relevance to EDCC
- Timeliness and expected interest in the topic
- Organizers’ ability to lead a successful workshop
- Balance and synergy with other EDCC events

*Workshop Chair*
