ICT systems are used as part of an ever-growing variety of
applications, for which high costs are incurred in case of
malfunctioning, or for which the malfunctioning can disrupt (parts
of) society. Examples include all kinds of embedded systems (TV's,
media players), logistics and traffic control, communications
systems, but also e-commerce and medical systems. In the Centre for
Dependable ICT (CeDICT) we develop and apply methods and techniques
to make dependable ICT systems a reality. Within CeDICT, we view
dependability as a system-wide issue that has to be addressed as
such, given a limited dependability budget.
