The University of Naples Federico II, with the patronage and support of DIETI, will host the 55th Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN 2025).

DSN is an established forum where to present world class results from the academia and from the industry on dependability and security research. The DSN community, since many years, embraces the necessity to fight simultaneously against accidental faults, malicious cyber attacks, design errors, and unexpected operational conditions. Published conference results are characterized by scientific rigor, industrial relevance, and sound empirical evaluation via tools and experience.
The program includes three outstanding keynote speakers: Roberto Baldoni, Senior Advisor for Technology and Cybersecurity Policy, Embassy of Italy in Washington DC and Honorary Professor at the University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy; Marta Kwiatkowska, Professor at the University of Oxford and Fellow of Trinity College; Angelo Corsaro, Chief Executive ORicer (CEO), Chief Technology ORicer (CTO), and co-founder of ZettaScale Technology. Roberto  Baldoni will center his intervention on the so-called “AI Paradox”, exploring the interconnected issues of global power, AI technology sourcing, errors, ethical considerations, and regulatory shift, with an examination of approaches adopted in key countries in the world. Marta Kwiatkowska will focus on the role that formal verification can play in providing provable guarantees on the safety and optimality of neural networks, which is crucial to address the concerns of AI technologies about their readiness for widespread deployment. Angelo Corsaro will provide his view on the current fragmentation of modern systems, from mobile robots, drones connected and autonomous vehicles, tracing the evolution of distributed computing middleware, then focusing on Zenoh, which is emerging as the de facto protocol for next generation robotics, intelligent transportation systems, and IoT/Edge applications. Further, this year we can enjoy an exceptionally rich program, featuring 56 research articles presented in 19 sessions spanning through Network & Systems Security, Software, Applications & Hardware Security, AI, Learning & Attack Modeling, Architecture & System Evaluation, Emerging Technologies & Blockchain. Further, we have 6 sessions for industry contributions, 2 sessions for disruptive ideas, 1 session for pitching the accepted posters, 2 sessions dedicated to young researchers with the Doctoral Forum, 6 tutorials on frontier dependability and security topics, and 8 workshops focusing on several DSN-relevant advanced topics: verification and validation of cyber-physical systems, dependability modelling, safe and sustainable AI-aided manufacturing, approximate computing, digital twins for dependability, resilience and security, reliable classical-quantum engineering, environment-system symbiosis, dependable and secure machine learning. We are grateful to the IEEE for publishing the proceedings of DSN 2025 and, in particular, to the Technical Community on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance (TCFT) and to the IFIP Working
Group 10.4 on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance, which together support the conference. Further, we are grateful to all the sponsors (GoGrowing s.r.l., Micron Technology Inc., Serena-IIoT PRIN 2022, South Engineering s.r.l., SecureWare s.r.l, and DigitalPlatforms S.P.A), which support DSN 2025.

We sincerely hope you will enjoy DSN 2025, and we are particularly eager to welcome you to Naples!
