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 capaDASCies, 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, 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, analyse, 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 requirements 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 and 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.

DASC-2015 will be held on 26-28 October 2015 in Liverpool, UK. It aims 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.
