Draft of DSA 2020 Proceedings will be available online soon

Eleven (11) papers for possible Journal Publication.
Four (4) papers have been recommended to the IEEE Transactions on Reliability (SCI indexed).
Three (3) papers have been recommended to the IEEE Access (SCI indexed).
Four (4) papers will be published in the December 2020 issue of International Journal of Performability Engineering (IJPE; Ei indexed).

Update on DSA 2020 in relation to Covid 19 (Coronavirus)

DSA 2020 will be organized in a hybrid mode. Authors have two options: in-person or remote online presentations.
Conference proceedings will be published by IEEE. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore and Ei-indexing.
SCI Journal Publication:
- Selected papers of top quality will be published in a special section on DSA in the March 2021 issue of the IEEE Transactions on Reliability instead of the conference proceedings. This will speed up the journal publication of these papers.
- Papers of high quality will be invited to submit their extended versions to a special section on DSA in the Reliability Society Section of IEEE Access, IEEE’s award-winning, multidisciplinary open access journal.
EI Journal Publication:
- The DSA conference is also working with International Journal of Performability Engineering (IJPE), an Ei-indexed journal, to publish papers of high quality.

Welcome

In 2017, the International Conference on Trustworthy Systems and Their Applications (TSA) and the International Symposium on Dependable Computing and Internet of Things (DCIT) were merged into one large conference and renamed as International Conference on Dependable Systems and Their Applications (DSA). This year is the fourth meeting after the merge. In the past, both TSA and DCIT were technically sponsored by the IEEE Reliability Society. Following the same tradition, DSA 2020 also has the same technical sponsorship from IEEE. It is organized by the Northwestern Polytechnical University, Peng Cheng Laboratory in Shenzhen, and Harbin Institute of Technology. In addition, the conference receives support from Aviation Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Airborne and Missile-borne Computer, Beijing Sunwise Information Technology, Ltd., Beihang University, and Beijing High Quality of System Technology Ltd.

DSA 2020 focuses on innovative methodologies, techniques, tools, and management to produce dependable and trustworthy systems and their applications in a more cost-effective way. It provides a discussion forum to bring together academic researchers, industry practitioners, and government policy and decision makers to exchange ideas and results, share experiences, and explore possible solutions to overcome current challenges.
