Theory and Engineering of Dependable Computer Systems and Networks: Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Conference on Dependability of Computer . in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 1389) 1st ed. 2021 Edition

Being probably the most complex technical systems ever engineered by man (and also―the most dynamically evolving ones), organization of contemporary computer systems cannot be interpreted only as structures built on the basis of (unreliable) technical resources. Their evaluation must take into account a specific blend of interacting people (their needs and behaviours), networks (together with mobile properties, cloud organization, Internet of Everything, etc.) and a large number of users dispersed geographically and constantly producing an unconceivable number of applications. Ever-growing number of research methods being continuously developed for dependability analyses apply the newest techniques of artificial and computational intelligence. Selection of papers in these proceedings illustrates diversity of multi-disciplinary topics which are considered in present-day dependability explorations.
