PRDC 2025: Call for Papers

The 30th IEEE Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing (PRDC 2025) will be held in Seoul, Korea from November 3-5, 2025.

PRDC is recognized as the main event in the Pacific Rim area devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing. It provides a forum for countries around the world to exchange ideas for improving the dependability of computing systems.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Software and hardware reliability, resilience, safety, security, testing, verification, and validation
• Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools
• Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems
• Architecture and system design for dependability
• Prognostics in Complex Systems
• Reliability analysis of Complex Systems
• Fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols
• Cloud computing resiliency, security and privacy
• Software defined networks architectures and protocols
• Dependability issues in computing systems (e.g. computer networks and communications, high performance computing, real-time systems, storage and databases systems, cyber-physical systems, socio-technical systems, and blockchain and smart contracts).
• Emerging technologies (autonomous systems including autonomous vehicles, human machine teaming, smart devices/Internet of Things)

Submission Information

Manuscripts should use the IEEE double-column format:

• Full papers: 10 pages
• Short papers: 6 pages

References are not included in the page limit. Appendixes beyond the page limit are allowed in submission but are not expected to be reviewed.

Authors can choose either one of the following two submission categories:

1. Regular Research Papers: Describe original research (not submitted or published elsewhere).
2. Practical Experience Reports: Describe an experience or a case study, such as the design and deployment of a system or actual failure and recovery field data.

All submissions must be made electronically (in PDF format) on the submission website: HotCRP site

All submissions will undergo a double-blind review. Ensure that you have removed any references that could lead to identifying the authors of the paper.

All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (EI Indexed).

Paper Award

One outstanding paper will be selected to receive the Best Paper Award, and one outstanding paper first-authored by a student will receive the Best Student Paper Award.

A few excellent papers will be recommended to have their extended versions submitted to an international journal.
