Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit a paper to the 9th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2014). ARES Conference 08th - 12th September 2014 University of Fribourg, Switzerland www.ares-conference.eu ARES will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of dependability. ARES will highlight the various aspects of security - with special focus on the crucial linkage between availability, reliability and security. ARES aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of security as an integrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, confidentiality, integrity, maintainability and security in the different fields of applications. ARES will emphasize the interplay between foundations and practical issues of security in emerging areas such as e-government, m-government, location-based applications, ubiquitous computing, autonomous computing, chances of grid computing etc. ARES is devoted to the critical examination and research challenges of the various aspects of Secure and Dependable Computing and the definition of a future road map. Selected papers that are accepted by and presented at the ARES Conference will be published, after further revision, in special issues of international journals. The acceptance rate of the ARES 2013 conference was 24%. The ARES conferences have been published by IEEE CPS. ***ARES Important Dates*** Submission Deadline: March 7th, 2014 Author Notification: May 19th, 2014 Author Registration: June 10th, 2014 Proceedings Version: June 20th, 2014 Conference: September 8th - 12th, 2014 - Fribourg, Switzerland ***Conference Officers*** General Chair Prof. Dr. Stephanie Teufel, Dean of the faculty of economics & social sciences, University of Fribourg, Switzerland Program Committee Co-Chairs Dr. Edgar Weippl, Vienna University of Technology and SBA Research, Austria Dr.-Ing.
