PRDC 2004 is the tenth in this series of symposia started in 1989, that are devoted to dependable and fault tolerant computing. PRDC is now recognized as the main regular event of the Pacific area that is covering the many dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems In the recent years, the importance of dependability has been increasing beyond the classical critical application domains (telecommunication, transportation, space, etc.) as many other domains of the economy (commerce, finance, energy distribution) are recognizing dependability of the worldwide information and communication infrastructures to be one of their top problems.
