PRDC 2014 is the twentieth in this series of symposia started in 1989 that are devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing. PRDC is recognized as the main event in the Pacific area that covers the many dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. As applications of computing systems have permeated into all aspects of daily life, the dependability of computing systems has become increasingly critical. This symposium provides a forum for countries around the Pacific Rim and other areas of the world to exchange ideas for improving the dependability of computing systems.

Topics of interest include (but not limited to):
* Software and hardware reliability, testing, verification, and validation
* Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools
* Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems
* Software aging and rejuvenation
* Safety-critical systems and software
* Architecture and system design for dependability
* Fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols
* Reliability in cloud computing, Internet, and web systems and applications
* Cloud and Internet Information security
* Dependability issues in computer networks and communications
* Dependability issues in distributed and parallel systems
* Dependability issues in real-time systems, database, and transaction processing systems
* Dependability issues in autonomic computing
* Dependability issues in aerospace and embedded systems

## National University of Singapore ##

A leading global university centered in Asia, the National University of Singapore (NUS) offers a global approach to education and research, with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise. Over 36,000 students from 100 countries further enrich the community with their diverse social and cultural perspectives, making campus life vibrant and exciting. NUS has a strong and growing reputation for impactful research with numerous productive collaborations with research organizations and industry in Singapore and around the world. The Department of Computer Science, with over 80 faculty members, had a long track record in grooming leaders for the digital economy and IT workforce. The Computer Science department has more than 350 PH.D students where strong teams of more than 20 students are doing research in Formal Method area. The departments' internationally recognized faculty members perform research in various areas.


## Singapore ##

Singapore (also called the Lion City), is a Southeast Asian city-state off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. An island country made up of 63 islands, it is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its south. Singapore is highly urbanized but almost half of the country is covered by greenery. More land is being created for development through land reclamation.

The Lion City is a modern metropolis with one of the world's busiest ports and a world-class airport. At the same time, the small tropical island has retained many elements of its colonial past.
