The 2023 IEEE Conference on Dependable and Secure Computing (IEEE DSC 2023) solicits papers, posters, practices, and experiences for presenting innovative research results, problem solutions, and new challenges in the field of dependable and secure computing. The whole spectrum of IT systems and application areas, including hardware design and software systems, with stringent relevance to dependability and security concerns, are of interest to DSC. Authors are invited to submit original works on research and practice of creating, validating, deploying, and maintaining dependable and secure systems.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The IEEE DSC 2023 conference accepts the following two categories of papers:

• Regular Papers describe innovative research results, problem solutions, and new challenges in the field of dependable and secure computing. The whole spectrum of IT systems and application areas, including hardware design and software systems, with stringent relevance to dependability and security concerns, are of interest to DSC. Authors are invited to submit original works on research and practice of creating, validating, deploying, and maintaining dependable and secure systems.
• Experience and practice papers describe contributing to design know-how or the extension of the community’s knowledge about how the security protection of known techniques fares in real-world operations.

Papers should be no more than 8 pages for regular papers and 2 pages for experience and practice papers. Papers must be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (US letter, two-column). All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be eligible for submission to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Paper templates can be downloaded from the IEEE website.
