Introduction

As computer systems become increasingly large and complex, their Dependability, Security and Autonomy play critical

role at supporting next-generation science, engineering, and commercial applications. These systems consist of

heterogeneous software/hardware/network components of changing capacities, availability, and in varied contexts.

They provide computing services to large pools of users and applications, and thus are exposed to a number of

dangers such as accidental/deliberate faults, virus infections, malicious attacks, illegal intrusions, and natural

disasters etc. As a result, too often computer systems fail, become compromised, or perform poorly and therefore

untrustworthy. Thus, it remains a challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the dependability and security

for a trusted computing environment. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services

that are autonomous, dependable, secure, privacy protect-able, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable and

sustainable.

The scale and complexity of information systems evolve towards overwhelming the capability of system administrators,

programmers, and designers. This calls for the autonomic computing paradigm, which meets the requirement of self-management

by providing self-optimization, self-healing, self-configuration, and self-protection. As a promising means to implement

dependable and secure systems in a self-managing manner, autonomic computing technology needs to be further explored. On the

other hand, any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the

system will not fail. Trusted and autonomic computing and communications need synergistic research efforts covering many

disciplines, ranging from computer science and engineering, to the natural sciences to the social sciences. It requires

scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software, system architectures, and

communication systems that support the effective and coherent integration of the constituent technologies.

DASC2013 will be held on Dec. 21st - 22nd, 2013 in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. The goal of DASC2013 is to bring together computer

scientists, industrial engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical results, novel

designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the areas of dependability, security,

trust and/or autonomic computing systems.
