Conference Description:
The IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN) is the premier international conference for presenting the very best research results, problem solutions, and insight on new challenges facing the field of dependability and security. These challenges have always been significant in the IT-permeated modern society, and meeting them is essential to economic prosperity, global stability, and societal/personal safety. DSN has pioneered the fusion between security and dependability, addressing the need to simultaneously fight against cyber attacks, accidental faults, design errors, and unexpected operating conditions. Over the past forty-one years, DSN has developed into the flagship conference in the systems research area, specializing in both dependability and security issues and solutions.
DSN 2012 consists of a rich program, including plenary talks, regular papers, experience reports, panels, student forum, fast abstracts, demonstrations of tools and technologies, debate sessions, together with state-of-the-art workshops and tutorials. We need your contribution and participation to make it a successful event to continue our record of excellence!
