Dependable and Secure Infrastructures and Systems in Intelligent Environments

The SI is in the intersection of the EDCC topics and the interest of the journal. The SI is focused on dependability of sensing systems, within that we consider all aspects as exemplified in the “topics of interest” list. The basic idea behind these systems is that by enriching an environment with technology (sensors, processors, actuators, information terminals, and other devices interconnected through a network), a system can be built such that based on the real-time information gathered and the historical data accumulated, decisions can be taken to benefit the users of that environment.

This collection was curated by the Editor in Chief from articles that also appear in the journal's issues. The journal's standard peer review policy applies here. If an article was also included in a special issue of the journal, please see the instruction for authors for the special issue peer review policy.
