1.4. Conclusion

As noted above, the goal of the book is to provide the reader with an appreciation of the need for integrating security and dependability techniques to address information assurance problems. Note that the chapters included in this book represent some pressing issues and they are not in anyway exhaustive in considering the integration of the security and dependability areas; for example, discrete event simulation has been used for both security and dependability analysis [6], but currently we have no chapter addressing the discrete event simulation approach.

Lastly, the editors wish to thank the authors for their contributions to the book and help in its publication.
