Conference Paper Probabilistic Validation of Computer System Survivability
An engineering approach to design must include
dependability aspects. In software, progress in this direction
has been slow, but is necessary for more efficient decisions
by both individual actors and society. Increasing dependence
on software increases the costs of undependability or of not
matching dependability to needs. Some current trends, like
that towards using more COTS components, create both
opportunities and technical challenges for this progress.
There are non-technical difficulties to overcome, in terms of
education of users and developers and better communication
between technical communities. The research challenges
include both learning more about the effects of the practices
for achieving dependability and learning better to organise
knowledge to support judgement and decision-making.
The terms “dependability” and “security” have been used interchangeably to describe the properties of secure and trusted software.
However, the extant literature shows that dependability attributes are considered as the cure for security threats, abnormal behavior and untrustworthy issues in a software system.
A system is considered dependable when it can be depended on to produce the consequences for which it was designed, with no adverse effect in its intended environment. Dependability comprises several attributes that imply availability, confidentiality, integrity, reliability, safety, and maintainability.
Methods and tools to attain the dependability attributes have been discussed in details in my previous publications.
I hope this can help you. Good luck.
