<div dir="ltr">DSA 2019: Sixth International Conference on Dependable Systems and Their Applications, <div>Harbin, China, January 3-6, 2020<br><a href="https://dsa19.techconf.org/">https://dsa19.techconf.org/</a> <br><br>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 third meeting after the merge. In the past, both TSA and DCIT were technically sponsored by the IEEE Reliability Society. Following the same tradition, DSA 2019 also has the same technical sponsorship from IEEE. It is organized by the Harbin University of Science and Technology. In addition, the conference receives support from Harbin Engineering University and Harbin Institute of Technology. DSA 2019 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. <br>The topics of interest include: <br>• Algorithms, Architecture, Framework, Design Patterns and Maintenance for Dependable Systems and Software<br>• Security, Threats, Privacy, Safety, and Risk Management<br>• Dependability and Reliability Modeling and Measurement<br>• Fault Tolerance, Survivability, Resilience, and Availability<br>• Metrics, Measurement, and Quality Assessment<br>• Requirements, Process, Standards, Productivity, and Project Management<br>• Quality Assurance, Maintenance, and Reverse Engineering and Re-Engineering<br>• Verification, Validation, Testing, Analysis, Debugging, Model Checking, and Program Repair<br>• Formal Methods and Theories<br>• Communication, Networking, Optimization, and Performance<br>• Pervasive, Ubiquitous, Service-Oriented, and Clouding Computing<br>• Collaborative, Distributed, Embedded, Real-Time, High Performance, Highly Dependable, Intelligent, Multimedia Systems<br>• Big Data and Storage<br>• Prognosties and Health Management<br>• IoT, Supply Chain, Cyber-physical Systems, Industry 4.0, and Smart City<br>• Empirical Studies, Benchmarking, and Industrial Best Practices<br>• Applications, Tools, and Automation<br>General Chairs<br>Guanglu Sun, Harbin University of Science and Technology, China<br>Song Huang, Army Engineering University of PLA, China <br>Jun Liu, Beijing Jinghang Research Institute of Computing and Communication, China<br><br>Program Chairs<br>Yun Lin, Harbin Engineering University, China<br>Jian Dong, Harbin Institute of Technology, China<br>Franz Wotawa, Graz University of Technology, Austria<br><br>Local Committee Chair<br>Ao Li, Harbin University of Science and Technology, China<br><br>Publicity Chairs<br>Manuel Núñez, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain<br>Peng Sun, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China<br>Chuan Li, Chongqing Technology and Business University, China<br><br>Submission Instruction<br>Papers related to the topics of interests are solicited.
