Background & Key topics

The annual DESSERT conference began since 2006 and its primary focus has been on methodologies, techniques and tools for dependability, security and safety assessment and assurance of software and hardware components, computer systems, networks and infrastructures. DESSERT’2019 is responding to current major challenges relating to state-of-the-art information and communication technologies and paradigms such as cloud and fog computing, Internet of things and everything, big data, software defined applications, edge computing, cyberphysical systems and etc. Relevant areas of interest encompasses regulations, analysis, modeling, development, verification, operation and maintenance of hardware, software and human related components, computer systems, networks and infrastructures for safety-, mission- and business-critical applications.

DESSERT’2019 is addressing the main dependability challenges related to the IoT, Big Data and AI for a Smart and Safe Future. Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts demonstrating recent advances in in all areas relevant to these challenges, including, but not limited to

• Methodology and trends of dependable and resilient computing
