Introduction<br>
<br>As computer systems become increasingly large and complex, their
Dependability, Security and Autonomy play critical role at supporting
next-generation science, engineering, and commercial applications. These
systems consist of heterogeneous software/hardware/network components
of changing capacities, availability, and in varied contexts. They
provide computing services to large pools of users and applications, and
thus are exposed to a number of dangers such as accidental/deliberate
faults, virus infections, malicious attacks, illegal intrusions, and
natural disasters etc. As a result, too often computer systems fail,
become compromised, or perform poorly and therefore untrustworthy. Thus,
it remains a challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the
dependability and security for a trusted computing environment. Trusted
computing targets computing and communication systems as well as
services that are autonomous, dependable, secure, privacy protect-able,
predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable and sustainable. The
scale and complexity of information systems evolve towards overwhelming
the capability of system administrators, programmers, and designers.
This calls for the autonomic computing paradigm, which meets the
requirement of self-management by providing self-optimization,
self-healing, self-configuration, and self-protection. As a promising
means to implement dependable and secure systems in a self-managing
manner, autonomic computing technology needs to be further explored. On
the other hand, any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the
risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not
fail. Trusted and autonomic computing and communications need
synergistic research efforts covering many disciplines, ranging from
computer science and engineering, to the natural sciences to the social
sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a wide
variety of fields, as well as new software, system architectures, and
communication systems that support the effective and coherent
integration of the constituent technologies. <br>

must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the
corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference,
including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The template files for
LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper submissions must
represent original and unpublished work. Submission of a paper should be
regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least
one of the authors will register for the conference and present the
work. Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the DASC2011 submission site: <a href="http://cse.stfx.ca/~DASC2011/sub/" target="_blank">http://cse.stfx.ca/~DASC2011/sub/</a>.<br>
<br><br>Publications<br><br>Accepted and presented papers will be
included into the IEEE Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS
Press. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are
requested to register and present their work at the conference,
otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of
IEEE CS and EI after the conference.<br>
<br>Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further
revision, will be published in special issues of Journal of Computer and
System Sciences, and Concurrency and Computation: Practice and
Experience.<br><br>
