PRDC 2022 is the twenty-seventh event in a series of symposia started in 1989 devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing. PRDC is recognized as the main event in the Pacific area that covers many dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. As applications of computing systems have permeated into all aspects of daily life, the dependability of computing systems has become increasingly critical. This symposium provides a forum for countries around the Pacific Rim and other areas of the world to exchange ideas for improving the dependability of computing systems.

Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

    Software and hardware reliability, resilience, safety, security, testing, verification, and validation
    Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools
    Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems
    Architecture and system design for dependability
    Prognostics in Complex Systems
    Reliability analysis of Complex Systems
    Fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols
    Cloud computing resiliency, security and privacy
    Software defined networks architectures and protocols
    Dependability issues in computing systems (e.g. computer networks and communications, high performance computing, real-time systems, storage and databases systems, cyber-physical systems, socio-technical systems, and blockchain and smart contracts).
    Emerging technologies (autonomous systems including autonomous vehicles, human machine teaming, smart devices/Internet of Things)
