Fast Abstracts are short presentations, either on new ideas or work in progress, or opinion pieces that can address any issue relevant to dependability. Major topics of interest can be found in the LADC Call for Papers. Fast Abstracts are a good opportunity for authors to state positions on challenging or controversial issues, or speculate on new directions to open problems.
