Welcome to The 9th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud and Big Data Systems and Applications (DependSys2023), Melbourne, Australia.On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to express to all the participants our warm welcome.IEEE DependSys 2023 conference is the next event in the series of conferences which offers a timely venue for bringing together new ideas, techniques, and solutions for dependability and its issues in sensor, cloud, and big data systems and applications.As we are deep into the Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors, individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to the dependability of our designed systems.As these systems oftentend to become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running.Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems and applications has become increasingly critical.This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great confidence.Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different circumstances.The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, corruption, anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability,
