<strong>ARES CONFERENCE<br>
</strong>************<br>
The 16th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (“ARES – The International Dependability Conference”) will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of dependability. ARES will highlight the various aspects of dependability
– with special focus on the crucial linkage between availability, reliability and security.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial">ARES aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of dependability as an integrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, confidentiality, integrity, maintainability and security
in the different fields of applications.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial">ARES will emphasize the interplay between foundations and practical issues of dependability in emerging areas such as e-government, m-government, location-based applications, ubiquitous computing, autonomous computing,
chances of grid computing etc. ARES is devoted to the critical examination and research challenges of the various aspects of Dependable Computing and the definition of a future road map.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial">The acceptance rate of the ARES 2020 conference was 21,26% (full papers only). ARES 2021 will bepublished by the International Conference Proceedings Series published by ACM (ACM ICPS).</font></p>
