DCCA differs from other conferences on related topics in encouraging participation across all fields that contribute to dependable computing, and in its format as a working conference that provides ample time for discussion; these attributes provide for a stimulating meeting that facilitates cross-fertilization of ideas and interaction between researchers and practitioners. ProceedingsThe proceedings will be published as a book in the Dependable Computing Series of the IEEE Computer Society (which also published the proceedings of DCCA-5 and DCCA-6), with preliminary proceedings available at the conference and on the Web.LocationThe conference will be held at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California. San Jose, at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay, is in the heart of Silicon Valley. There are direct flights to San Jose airport (code SJC) from major US cities and gateways. Alternatively, you can fly to San Francisco, about 40 miles north, and use a van service, bus, or rental car. http://www.itn.com is a good place to search for flights and fares. The winter weather in San Jose is mild with overnight low temperatures around 50F/10C and daytime highs around 65F/18C; the typical pattern alternates rainstorms of 2-3 days duration with week-long spells of sunshine and clear skies. Here's the current weather forecast. More details to follow. |
