As computer and communication systems, as well as other systems such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), and Autonomous Robotic Systems, become increasingly large and complex, their Dependability and Security play critical roles in supporting next-generation science, engineering, and commercial applications. It remains a challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the dependability and security of a large-scale computing environment. Trusted and autonomic computing/autonomous systems need synergistic research efforts covering many disciplines, from natural sciences to social sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a variety of fields, as well as new software, architectures, and communication technology that support the integration of the constituent technologies. IEEE DASC 2024 will be held during November 5-8, 2024, in Boracay Island, Malay, Philippines, co-located with IEEE CyberSciTech 2024, IEEE PICom 2024, and IEEE CBDCom 2024. It aims to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange
theoretical and implementation results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the areas of dependability, security, trust, and/or autonomic computing, and autonomous systems.

Submission Instructions
Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has not previously been submitted or published in any other venue. Regular, work-in-progress (WiP), workshop, and special session papers need to be submitted via the EDAS system.
Papers should be prepared in IEEE CS Proceedings format.

IEEE formatting info:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
All the accepted papers will be published by IEEE in the Conference Proceedings (IEEE-DL and EI indexed). Best Paper Awards will be presented to high quality papers. Selected papers will be recommended 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 authors will need to reduce the paper accordingly when preparing the camera-ready version. At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register and present the paper at the conference.

Regular Tracks: 6-8 pages
WiP/Workshop/Special Session Tracks: 4-6 pages
