CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

European Dependable Computing Conference 2026 (EDCC 2026)
7-10 April 2026
Canterbury, UK
http://edcc.dependability.org

The European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC) is a leading venue for 
presenting and discussing the latest research, industrial practices, and 
innovations in dependable and secure computing, with a long-standing 
tradition that began in 1994 and is now in its 21st edition.


CALL FOR PAPERS

In addition to original research papers, EDCC welcomes contributions on 
dependability and security in practice, as well as their applications to 
industrial domains. The conference also serves as a natural meeting place for 
ongoing dependability and security projects to present their current state of 
advancement and innovative results. 

> Paper Categories
* Regular papers (up to 8 pages) solicited on theory, techniques, systems, 
and tools for designing, validating, operating, and evaluating dependable and 
secure computing systems, covering any fault model, from traditional hardware 
and software faults to accidental and malicious human interactions.

* Practical experience reports (up to 6 pages) dedicated to dependability and 
security in practice, applying tools and techniques to new challenging 
problems or domains.

* Industry papers (from 4 up to 6 pages) directly related to industrial use 
cases, applicability and scalability issues of recent techniques, novel 
technological challenges, and novel applications of practical aspects of 
dependability. Most of the authors must be affiliated with the industry. 
Papers will undergo the regular review process, but with a high emphasis on 
their practical aspects and insights into industrial applications.

* Short papers (up to 4 pages) describing preliminary research work (position 
papers) or a description outlining the design or implementation of a tool or 
the prototyping of an operational system.

References are included in the page limit for papers submitted to any 
category. However, after the paper's acceptance, references will not be 
included in the page limit, allowing authors to address the reviewers' 
comments better.
