=============</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.7pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">DependSys-2025
conference is the 11th event in the series of conferences which offers a timely
venue for bringing together new ideas, techniques, and solutions for
dependability and its issues in sensor, cloud, and big data systems and
applications. As we are deep into the Information Age, huge amounts of data are
generated every day from sensors, individual archives, social networks,
Internet of Things, enterprises and Internet in various scales and format which
will pose a major challenge to the dependability of our designed systems. As these
systems often tend to become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of
running. Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data
systems and applications has become increasingly critical.</p>
<p style="margin:0cm;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.7pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">This conference
provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations
who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose
dependability of services they need to place great confidence. Future systems
need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different
circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services,
e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, corruption,
anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate
privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability,
heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on.</p>
<p style="margin:0cm;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.7pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-size:11pt">DependSys-2025 will be hosted in Exeter, the capital
city of Devon and provides the county with a central base for education,
medicine, religion, commerce and culture. Prospective authors are invited to
submit their papers to DependSys-2025. All accepted papers are expected to be
included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by Engineering Index (EI). The
authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their
contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in
conjunction with the conference.</span></p>
