systems as well as other systems such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet
of Things (IoT), Autonomous Robotic Systems become increasingly large and
complex, their Dependability and Security play critical role at supporting
next-generation science, engineering, and commercial applications. It remains a
challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the dependability and
security for a trusted computing environment. Trusted computing targets
computing systems as well as services that are dependable, secure, protectable,
predictable, traceable, controllable, autonomous, and sustainable. <span></span></span></p>

scale and complexity of systems call for the autonomic computing paradigm,
which meets the requirements of self-management, and autonomous systems.
Trusted and autonomic computing/autonomous systems need synergistic research
efforts covering many disciplines, ranging from natural sciences to social
sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety
of fields, as well as new software, architectures, and communication technology
that support the integration of the constituent technologies.<span></span></span></p>
