Fast abstracts

Summary form only given, as follows. Fast Abstracts are brief two page presentations of a research idea, an opinion, or a project update. They cover a wide variety of issues within the field of dependable systems and networks. They are also designed to offer an opportunity for late-breaking results, partial results, or work in progress to be reported in a timely fashion. As such, they are lightly screened by the Fast Abstracts Program Committee and are not subjected to the rigorous referee process of regular DSN papers. The late submission deadline and expedited screening, along with the corresponding 5-minute talk during DSN, allow for very rapid dissemination and timely feedback from the community. This year, the technical program includes three sessions on Fast Abstracts, gathering very interesting contributions from academia and industry, relevant to the topics of the conference. We are particularly pleased to have presentations from scientists and engineers from industry that would not normally have the time to produce a full DSN paper. Their contributions mirror the goal of Fast Abstracts to provide a greater diversity of participation and corresponding exchange of ideas than is possible with regular paper presentations alone. None of the abstracts themselves are presented in this document.
