Our increasing dependence on systems and networks has not only enhanced our standard of living, but has also left us vulnerable to threats and risks. These threats and risks can potentially be introduced in every step in developing and utilizing systems. Errors can be introduced in defining specifications, development, procurement, operations, and maintenance. In addition to errors and accidental faults, systems must now be able to survive intentional / malicious faults from, for example, attackers. In this environment, how can we build reliable systems? What design principles are involved? How should these systems be evaluated? Are there user interfaces that will prevent the introduction of human error? This conference is the principal forum dedicated to answering these and many other questions related to computer-system dependability.
