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 ninth meeting after the merge.

In the past, both TSA and DCIT were technically sponsored by
the IEEE Reliability Society. Following the same tradition,
DSA 2025 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 more cost-effectively. In particular,
this year's conference emphasizes using emerging AI and
machine learning/deep learning technologies to further enhance
existing approaches. DSA 2025 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 2025 will be held from November 24-26 and hosted by the
American University of Sharjah, which is about 20 minutes from Dubai,
the United Arab Emirates.
