The paper is aimed at examining the relationship between the three topics of the workshops that gave rise to this book: security, fault tolerance, and software assurance. Those three topics can be viewed CIS different facets of dependability. The paper focuses on diversity, as a desirable approach for addressing the classes of faults that underlay all these topics, i.e., design faults and intrusion faults.
