Call details
============
While computing is provided by the cloud and services increasingly pervade our daily lives, dependability and security are no longer

restricted to mission or safety critical applications, but rather become a cornerstone of the information society. Unfortunately,

large-scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous software systems that typically run continuously, often tend to become inert, brittle, and

vulnerable after a while. The key problem is that the most innovative systems and applications are the ones that also suffer most

from a significant decrease in dependability and security when compared to traditional critical systems, where dependability and

security are fairly well understood as complementary concepts and a variety of proven methods and techniques is available today. In

accordance with Laprie we call this effect the dependability gap, which is widened in front of us between demand and supply of

dependability, and we can see this trend further fueled by the demand for resource awareness, green computing, and increasing cost

pressure.

Among technical factors of dependability, software development methods, tools, and techniques contribute to dependability, as defects

in software products and services may lead to failure and also provide typical access for malicious attacks. In addition, there is a

wide variety of fault and intrusion tolerance techniques available, including persistence provided by databases, redundancy and

replication, group communication, transaction monitors, reliable middleware, cloud infrastructures, fragmentation-redundancy-

scattering, and trustworthy service-oriented architectures with explicit control of quality of service properties and service level

agreements. Furthermore, adaptiveness is envisaged in order to react to observed, or act upon expected changes of the system itself,

the context/environment (e.g., resource variability or failure/threat scenarios) or users' needs and expectations. Provided without

explicit user intervention, this is also termed autonomous behavior or self-properties, and often involves monitoring, diagnosis

(analysis, interpretation), and reconfiguration (repair). In particular, adaptation is also a means to achieve dependability and

security in a computing infrastructure with dynamically varying structure and properties.
