*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

Computer systems are the basis for daily human activities and, more  
importantly,
they play a key role in a variety of critical domains. Assessing  
dependability properties
of computer systems is today an important concern for engineers and  
practitioners.

The analysis of textual/numeric data and log files produced under real  
workload conditions
by applications, systems, and networks, intrusion detection systems,  
monitors and
issue-trackers plays a key role for dependability assessment.
Data analysis is crucial in a variety of engineering tasks, such as  
measuring availability
and reliability of a system, characterizing failures, gaining insights  
into the progression
of security attacks, designing mitigation means and countermeasures.

Academia and industry widely recognize the inherent potential of  
reliability and security data
analysis for assessing dependability of computer systems and  
operational networks,
and improving the engineering process.
Data analysis in these specific areas poses many challenging research  
questions due to the
heterogeneity, volume and velocity of the collected data, the lack of  
systematic
end-to-end analysis procedures, the increasing diversity of analysis  
objectives and emerging
application domains in critical areas.

RSDA 2016 aims to concentrate ideas and contributions from academic and
industrial organizations addressing reliability and security of  
computer systems
through data analysis. RSDA aims to gather high-quality papers on  
data-driven methodologies,
measurements from production systems, and analysis of large datasets.
