As software systems become more and more ubiquitous, the issues of dependability become more and more critical. The papers are organized in topical sections on- architectures for dependability- fault tolerance in software architectures- dependability analysis in software architectures- industrial experience.

Architectures for Dependability.- Intrusion-Tolerant Architectures: Concepts and Design.- Improving Dependability of Component-Based Systems via Multi-versioning Connectors.- Increasing System Dependability through Architecture-Based Self-Repair.- Dependability in the Web Services Architecture.- A Component Based Real-Time Scheduling Architecture.- Fault Tolerance in Software Architectures.- A Fault-Tolerant Software Architecture for Component-Based Systems.- The Role of Event Description in Architecting Dependable Systems.- Architectural Mismatch Tolerance.- Dependability Analysis in Software Architectures.- Quality Analysis of Dependable Systems: A Developer Oriented Approach.- Stochastic Dependability Analysis of System Architecture Based on UML Models.- Specification-Level Integration of Simulation and Dependability Analysis.- Using Architectural Properties to Model and Measure Graceful Degradation.- Industrial Experience.- Dependability Experience in Philips.
