The Latin-American Symposium on Dependable Computing (LADC) is the major annual event on computer system dependability in Latin America. The event presents technical sessions, workshops, tutorials, fast abstracts, keynote talks from international experts in the area, and an industrial track.
The symposium’s scope includes recent research results on software and system dependability, and it is promoted by the Special Committee on Fault-Tolerant Systems (CE-TF) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC).
The next LADC (2026) is been planned to be held in Salvador, Brazil, co-located with SBESC 2026.
