Theory and Engineering of Dependable Computer Systems and Networks

This book contains papers on selected aspects of dependability analysis in computer systems and networks, which were chosen for discussion during the 16th DepCoS-RELCOMEX conference held in Wrocaw, Poland, from June 28 to July 2, 2021. Their collection will be a valuable source material for scientists, researchers, practitioners and students who are dealing with design, analysis and engineering of computer systems and networks and must ensure their dependable operation.
Being probably the most complex technical systems ever engineered by man (and alsothe 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.

Presents recent research in complex systems and dependability Gathers the Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Conference on Dependability and Complex Systems (DepCoS-RELCOMEX), held June 28July 2, 2021 in Wroclaw, Poland Contains general aspects and dependability of systems, networks theory, and communication technology
