ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks

An international conference on dependable systems and networks is like a big meeting where very smart people from all over the world gather together to talk about how to make things like computers and technology work better and not break. It's kind of like when Mommy and Daddy have a meeting at work to talk about how to make their company better.

At this conference, the experts talk about how they can make sure that the technology we use is always working properly and is safe to use. They talk about how to protect it from hackers and bad guys who want to steal our information or hurt us. They also talk about how to prepare for things like natural disasters so that the technology can keep working even if something really bad happens.

So just like how Mommy and Daddy go to work to make things better, these really smart people go to this conference to make our technology better and safer for all of us to use.
