DSN 2027 — 57th Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks
by IEEE Computer Society TC on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance / IFIP WG 10.4
Where agentic AI meets fault tolerance: the 57th dependable systems conference
About This Event
DSN 2027, the 57th Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks, takes place 22-25 June 2027 in Berlin, Germany. DSN is the long-running venue for reliability, resilience and security of computing systems, co-sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance and IFIP Working Group 10.4, and the 2027 call for contributions is already published with a full deadline table. Its topics of interest now name agentic AI systems explicitly — dependability, verification, alignment, novel attacks including prompt injection and jailbreaking — alongside robust, resilient, secure and explainable machine learning, autonomous systems, cyber-physical systems, cloud and edge infrastructure, and hardware from CPUs and GPUs to trusted execution environments and data-centre systems.

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓CISOs and security architects
- ✓CTOs
- ✓VPs of Platform / SRE leaders
- ✓AI safety and assurance leads
- ✓Reliability and resilience engineers
- ✓Cyber-physical and automotive systems engineers
- ✓Research directors
Why Attend
Every enterprise now runs agents that call tools and act on production systems, and almost nobody has an assurance story for them. DSN is where that gap is being closed by people who spent decades on fault tolerance: the 2027 call explicitly covers agentic AI verification, alignment and attack surface including prompt injection and jailbreaking, next to the reliability engineering that already governs cloud, edge and cyber-physical estates. A CISO or platform VP leaves with published failure data, reproducible artifacts and evaluation methods they can hand to an architecture review board, rather than vendor assurances.
Event Features
- ✓Research Track: regular papers, 11 pages, reviewed by the Research Track Program Committee
- ✓Practical Experience Reports (7 pages) on lessons learned from real-world deployments
- ✓Tool descriptions and demonstrations (7 pages) for dependability tooling
- ✓Research Artifacts presentations with a Distinguished Artifact Award
- ✓Keynotes, tutorials and co-located workshops
- ✓Awards programme: Carter Award, Rising Star Award, Test of Time Award, Jean-Claude Laprie Award
- ✓Student travel grants and a mentoring programme
What Makes This Unique
- ★Its 2027 topics of interest name agentic AI dependability, verification, alignment and jailbreaking as first-class research areas, inside a 57-year-old fault-tolerance venue rather than a new AI-safety conference
- ★Accepts Practical Experience Reports (7 pages) and Tool Descriptions alongside 11-page regular papers, so production incident data and working tools reach the proceedings
- ★Research Artifacts are a distinct programme element with a Distinguished Artifact Award, so claims come with runnable evidence
- ★Full 2027 deadline table already published, from a 25 November 2026 abstract deadline through camera-ready on 24 April 2027
- ★Awards programme (Carter, Rising Star, Test of Time, Jean-Claude Laprie) marks the work that held up over decades, which is the relevant timescale for infrastructure decisions
