***************************************************************** Workshops to be held in conjunction with the First International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (AReS 2006). ***************************************************************** Vienna, Austria, 20-22 April 2006 http://www.ares-conf.org/ Dear Colleagues, It is our pleasure to introduce seven exciting workshops to be held in conjunction with the First International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (AReS 2006). We would like to encourage you to submit a contribution to ARES 2006 and/or its workshops. Furthermore please motivate your staff members and colleagues to submit their research results which fit to the goal of the conference and its workshops of bridging the gap between theory and practice in the various aspects of dependability - especially on the crucial linkage between availability, reliability, and security. We are very indebted for the effort of workshop's organizers and workshop's PC members. Proceedings of the ARES 2006 workshops will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. * Workshop 1: The First International Workshop on Dependable and Sustainable Peer-to-Peer Systems (DAS-P2P 2006), Yusuke Doi, TOSHIBA Corporation, Japan + Youki Kadobayashi, Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan + Kenji Saito, Keio University, Japan .
