This call for papers addresses all researchers and practitioners with an interest about dependability and fault tolerance of complex systems. Topics addressed in the workshop include but are not limited to:

• Software and hardware reliability.

• Software aging and rejuvenation.

• Software testing, verification, and validation.

• Techniques and approaches for safety-critical systems.

• Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools.

• Dependability techniques and methodologies for complex systems.

• Dependable systems design.

• Self-healing, self-protecting, and self-adaptive systems.

• Fault-tolerant techniques.

• Quality assurance in server systems, cyber-physical systems, learning-based systems, etc.

• Internet of things (IoT) architectures, protocols, security and privacy.

• Modeling and simulation of complex systems.

• Analysis of software faults/bugs, errors, and failures.

• Fault localization for complex bugs.

• Repairing and re-engineering for complex systems.

• Studies on non-deterministic bugs, aging-related bugs, etc.

• Analytical, empirical, and experimental studies of any of the above topics.
