Jan Hlavička

    Jan Hlavička was a Czech translator and author of science fiction short stories, credited with coining the word "emzák" (alien). His work was characterized by realism, a sad humor, and roots in the tradition of Czech prose. He himself studied French and German translation and interpretation at the Faculty of Arts at Charles University. Hlavička's stories were described as 'typical Czech science fiction,' and his style as 'the most Czech author of all.'

      The European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC) was conceived when the Iron Curtain fell, as a group of researchers and educators in fault-tolerant computing from various European nations recognized the need for collaboration. They formed a steering committee responsible for organizing the conference calendar and appointing chairs for individual events. While no single European or global organization oversees the conference, three national interest groups support its activities: the SEE Working Group “Dependable Computing” in France, the GI/ITG/GMA Technical Committee on Dependability and Fault Tolerance in Germany, and the AICA Working Group “Dependability of Computer Systems” in Italy. Additionally, several global professional organizations, including IEEE and IFIP, lend their support. Prague was chosen as the conference venue due to its accessibility, beauty, and history of hosting international events, including one of the last FTSD conferences. This setting enhances the conference's appeal, drawing visitors to engage in discussions on dependable computing.
