Overview

We live in turbulent times where technology is ever-changing, and new paradigms continually emerge. Many of them could be game changers from an industrial perspective, like in-memory and quantum computing, or novel artificial intelligence techniques. However, their dependable and secure adoption in computer-based systems we rely on for our everyday lives (from edge devices to large-scale systems) is far from simple.

The European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC) is a pivotal event in the domain of dependable and secure computing systems. It serves as a unique forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their latest research results on theory, techniques, systems, and tools for the design, validation, operation, and evaluation of dependable and secure computing systems.

In addition to original research papers, EDCC welcomes contributions on dependability and security in practice, as well as their applications to industrial domains. The conference also serves as a natural meeting place for ongoing dependability and security projects to present their current state of advancement and innovative results.

The conference program will be enhanced by workshops, a student forum, fast abstracts, and poster sessions, providing an ideal venue for exchanging ideas and networking.

It is anticipated that the conference proceedings will be managed by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and submitted to Xplore and the CSDL.
