We invite you to attend the second International Workshop
on Engineering Fault Tolerant Systems to be held in Dubrovnik
on September 04th 2007 and co-located with ESEC/FSE 2007.

Fault tolerance engineering has been advocated as one of the main
approaches to ensuring the overall system dependability.

The 2nd International Workshop on Engineering Fault Tolerant Systems
(EFTS 2007) aims to investigate how fault tolerance mechanisms can be
taken into account when engineering complex software systems and to
improve our understanding of where and how fault-tolerance should be
integrated in the software life-cycle. The focus of the workshop is on
developing novel models to be applied at different abstraction levels
(requirements, architecture and design models for fault tolerance,
together with new implementation schemes), innovative technologies
(tools and frameworks for implementing distributed fault tolerant
systems) and advanced verification environments (to assess the achieved
level of fault tolerance and to evaluate the dependability properties
of the systems).

EFTS 2007 is the appropriate venue to reflect on the achievements
of the researchers and practitioners in the fields of software engineering
and fault tolerance, bringing together people from these two communities.

The program at a glance:
- five technical sessions
- ten technical papers
- a keynote talk by Miroslaw Malek
