These proceedings present the results of the Eleventh International Conference on Dependability
and Complex Systems DepCoS-RELCOMEX which took place in a picturesque Brunów Palace in Poland
from 27th June to 1st July 2016. DepCoS-RELCOMEX is a series of international conferences
organized annually by Department of Computer Engineering of Wroclaw University of Science and
Technology since 2006. The roots of the series go as far back as to the seventies of the
previous century - the first RELCOMEX conference took place in 1977 - and now its main aim is
to promote a multi-disciplinary approach to dependability problems in theory and engineering
practice of complex systems. Complex systems nowadays most often computer-based and
distributed are built upon a variety of technical information software and human resources.
The challenges in their design analysis and maintenance not only originate from the involved
technical and organizational structures but also from the complexity of the information
processes that must be efficiently executed in a diverse often hostile operational
environment. Traditional methods of reliability evaluation focused only on technical resources
are usually insufficient in this context and more innovative multidisciplinary methods of
dependability analysis must be applied. The diversity of the topics which need to be considered
is well illustrated by the selection of the submissions in these proceedings with their
subjects ranging from mathematical models and design methodologies through software engineering
and data security issues up to practical problems in technical e.g. transportation systems.
