=====================INTRODUCTION=========================

As computer and communication systems-alongside advanced paradig
ms such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), the Internet of Things
(IoT), and Autonomous Systems-grow increasingly large and comple
x, their dependability and security become paramount for enablin
g next-generation science, engineering, and commercial applicati
ons. Designing, analyzing, evaluating, and enhancing the dependa
bility and security of autonomic computing environments present
persistent challenges. Dependable, Autonomic, and Secure Computi
ng (DASC) systems demand interdisciplinary research that integra
tes natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences. This con
vergence necessitates advancements in scientific and technologic
al methodologies, as well as the development of innovative softw
are, architectures, communication, and data platform technologie
s to seamlessly integrate constituent technologies. Notably, adv
anced AI techniques, such as Large Language Models (LLMs), play
a pivotal role in autonomic systems, with embodied AI enabling a
daptation, autonomous decision-making, and self-management. Ensu
ring the AI-driven solutions are trustworthy, dependable, and se
cure is equally essential.
IEEE DASC 2025 invites researchers, practitioners, and industry
experts to submit papers exploring theoretical and practical adv
ancements in dependable, autonomic, trustworthy, and secure comp
uting, autonomous systems, and AI-driven solutions. The conferen
ce seeks to unite experts to exchange innovative ideas, discuss
novel designs, share work-in-progress, and present case studies
on emerging trends in these domains.

All the accepted papers will be published by IEEE in the Confere
nce Proceedings (IEEE-DL and EI indexed). Best Paper Awards will
 be presented to high quality papers. Selected papers will be re
commended to prestigious journal Special Issues.

Some papers originally submitted as full papers can be accepted
as short papers during the review process. In such cases, the au
thors will need to reduce the paper accordingly when preparing t
he camera-ready version. At least one of the authors of any acce
pted paper is requested to register and present the paper at the
 conference.

- 6-8 pages for Regular papers
- 4-6 pages for WiP/Workshop/Special Session papers
- 2-4 pages for Poster papers
