Advances in Dependable Systems and Networks

This book presents the proceedings of the Twentieth International Conference on Dependability of Computer Systems, showcasing recent advancements in this broad area. Contemporary computer systems and networks are the most complex structures ever engineered by man yet their reliable operation is paramount in today s interconnected world. These systems form the backbone of almost every sector, from healthcare and finance to communication and transportation. Dependable systems ensure the seamless functioning of critical services, such as medical diagnostics, financial transactions, and emergency responses. This volume offers a selection of papers addressing challenges encountered in dependability studies of such systems. It can serve as an engaging and thought-provoking resource for scientists, researchers, engineers, and students who must tackle diverse dependability considerations in the design, analysis, or maintenance of contemporary computer systems.

The 20th DepCoS-RELCOMEX conference marked yet another installment in a series of events held annually since 2006. Initially conceived as a platform for scholarly dialogue on reliability in computer engineering, the conference's focus has continually evolved to encompass emerging challenges arising from advancements in information technologies and computer engineering. Today, dependable computer operations involve delivering accurate and
