Theory and Engineering of Complex Systems and Dependability

Zusatztext

<p>Building upon a long tradition of scientifi c conferences dealing with problems of</p><p>reliability in technical systems, in 2006 Department of Computer Engineering at</p><p>Wrocaw University of Technology established DepCoS-RELCOMEX series of events</p><p>in order to promote a comprehensive approach to evaluation of system performability</p><p>which is now commonly called dependability.</p><p>Contemporary complex systems integrate variety of technical, information, soft ware</p><p>and human (users, administrators and management) resources. Their complexity</p><p>comes not only from involved technical and organizational structures but mainly from</p><p>complexity of information processes that must be implemented in specific operational</p><p>environment (data processing, monitoring, management, etc.). In such a case traditional</p><p>methods of reliability evaluation focused mainly on technical levels are insufficient and</p><p>more innovative, multidisciplinary methods of dependability analysis must be applied.</p><p>Selection of submissions for these proceedings exemplify diversity of topics that must</p><p>be included in such analyses: tools, methodologies and standards for modelling,</p><p>design and simulation of the systems, security and confidentiality in information</p><p>processing, specific issues of heterogeneous, today often wireless, computer networks,</p><p>or management of transportation networks. In addition, this edition of the conference</p><p>hosted the 5th CrISS-DESSERT Workshop devoted to the problems of security and</p><p>safety in critical information systems.</p><p>
