Dependable Software Engineering. Theories, Tools, and Applications

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Dependable Software Engineering, SETTA 2021, held in Beijing, China, in November 2021.

The 16 full papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions, and are presented with 3 abstracts of keynote speeches. They deal with latest research results and ideas on bridging the gap between formal methods and software engineering.
