LADC is a major Latin-American event dedicated to discussing the many issues related to computer system dependability. This symposium succeeds the well established Brazilian Symposium on Fault Tolerant Computers; its first edition was held in São Paulo, Brazil, in October 2003. Its objective is to provide a forum for international and Latin-American scientists and engineers to present their latest research results and application experience in this very dynamic field. The LADC program will present technical sessions, tutorials and keynote talks from top international experts in the area, as well as on-going research. The symposium scope spans system, software, and hardware issues. Major topics include, but are not limited to:

Architectures for Dependable Systems
Dependability Evaluation
Dependability in Mobile Computing
Dependability Modeling and Prediction
Dependable Applications
Dependable Real-Time Systems
Dependability in Networking
Dependability in Multimedia Systems
Design for Testability
Fault-tolerant Distributed Algorithms
Intrusion Tolerance
Middleware for Fault Tolerance
Safety-Critical Systems
Security of Computing Systems
Software Engineering of Dependable Systems
Software Fault Tolerance
Survivability of Computing Systems

Only original papers (not published or under review elsewhere) can be submitted. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer.
