Call details
============
While computing is provided by the cloud and services increasingly pervade
our daily
lives, dependability and security are no longer restricted to mission or
safety
critical applications, but rather become a cornerstone of the information
society.
Unfortunately, large-scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous software systems
that typically
run continuously, often tend to become inert, brittle, and vulnerable after
a while.
The key problem is that the most innovative systems and applications are
the ones that
also suffer most from a significant decrease in dependability and security
when
compared to traditional critical systems, where dependability and security
are fairly
well understood as complementary concepts and a variety of proven methods and
techniques is available today. In accordance with Laprie we call this
effect the
dependability gap, which is widened in front of us between demand and
supply of
dependability, and we can see this trend further fueled by the demand for
resource
awareness, green computing, and increasing cost pressure.
Among technical factors of dependability, software development methods,
tools, and
techniques contribute to dependability, as defects in software products and
services
may lead to failure and also provide typical access for malicious attacks.
In addition,
there is a wide variety of fault and intrusion tolerance techniques available,
including persistence provided by databases, redundancy and replication, group
communication, transaction monitors, reliable middleware, cloud
infrastructures,
fragmentation-redundancy-scattering, and trustworthy service-oriented
architectures
with explicit control of quality of service properties and service level
agreements.
Furthermore, adaptiveness is envisaged in order to react to observed, or
act upon
expected changes of the system itself, the context/environment (e.g., resource
variability or failure/threat scenarios) or users' needs and expectations.
Provided
without explicit user intervention, this is also termed autonomous behavior or
self-properties, and often involves monitoring, diagnosis (analysis,
interpretation),
and reconfiguration (repair). In particular, adaptation is also a means to
achieve
dependability and security in a computing infrastructure with dynamically
varying
structure and properties.
