       Software  Product  Lines  (SPLs)  are emerging techniques where
       several  artifacts are reused (domain), and some are customized
       (variation points). An SPL can bind variation points statically
       (compilation  time)  or dynamically (runtime). Dynamic Software
       Product  Lines  (DSPLs)  use  dynamic  bind  to  adapt  to  the 
       environment or requirements changes. DSPLs are commonly used to
       build  dependable  systems, defined as systems with the ability
       to  avoid  service  failures  more  frequent  or severe than is
       acceptable.  Main  dependability  attributes  are availability,
       confidentiality,  integrity,  reliability, maintainability, and
       safety. To better understand this context, a Systematic Mapping
       Study  (SMS)  was  applied  searching  proposals  that  include 
       dependability attributes in DSPLs. Our results suggest that few
       studies  handle dependability in DSPL context. We selected only
       nine  primary  studies  in  this  context.  Also,  four of them
       provide  explicit  support  for  SOA  and  were  analyzed  as a
       secondary result.
