The 6th DSA conference will be held

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. The DSA 2019 will be held from January 3 to 6, 2020 in Harbin, China.

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.
