In 2017, the International Conference on Trustworthy Systems
and Their Applications (TSA) and the International Symposium
on Dependable Computing and Internet of Things (DCIT) were
merged into one large conference and renamed the International
Conference on Dependable Systems and Their Applications (DSA).
This year will be the eighth meeting after the merge.

In the past, both TSA and DCIT were technically sponsored
by the IEEE Reliability Society. Following the same
tradition, DSA 2024 also has the same technical sponsorship
from IEEE. The focus is on innovative methodologies,
techniques, tools, and management to produce dependable
and trustworthy systems and their applications in a more
cost-effective way. It provides an opportunity for academic
researchers, industry practitioners, and government policy
and decision makers to exchange ideas and results,
share experiences, and explore possible solutions to
overcome current challenges.

DSA 2024 will be held from November 2-3 in Taicang, Suzhou,
China and organized by Northwestern Polytechnical University.
