This workshop will continue the initiative, which started five years ago, of bringing together the international communities of dependability and software architectures. The first workshop on Architecting Dependable Systems was organised during the International Conference on Software Engineering 2002 (ICSE 2002). Since then six workshops were organised and three books were published. This series of workshops have shown to be a fertile ground for both communities to clarify previous approaches, thus helping to promote new topical areas where the most promising research may lie, while avoiding the reinvention of the wheel.
