An Invitation From The DSN 2012 General Chair:
              The IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable 
                Systems and Networks (DSN) is the premier international 
                conference for presenting the very best research results, problem 
                solutions, and insight on new challenges facing the field of dependability 
                and security. These challenges have always been significant in 
                the IT-permeated modern society, and meeting them is essential 
                to economic prosperity, global stability, and societal/personal 
                safety. DSN has pioneered the fusion between security and dependability, 
                addressing the need to simultaneously fight against cyber attacks, 
                accidental faults, design errors, and unexpected operating conditions. 
                Over the past forty-one years, DSN has developed into the flagship 
                conference in the systems research area, specializing in both 
                dependability and security issues and solutions.
              DSN 2012 consists of a rich program, including plenary talks, 
                regular papers, experience reports, panels, student forum, fast 
                abstracts, demonstrations of tools and technologies, debate sessions, 
                together with state-of-the-art workshops and a tutorial. We need 
                your contribution and participation to make it a successful event 
                to continue our record of excellence!
