Dependability, Structure and Infrastructure
نویسنده
چکیده
The role that system structuring techniques plays in helping to cope with system complexity and achieve system dependability is analyzed. This leads on to a discussion of (i) the problems of the various kinds of assumptions, both deliberate and unthinking, that are made by system designers, (ii) the increased difficulties regarding such assumptions that can face the designers of complex systems that are intended to function as infrastructures, and (iii) the problems of defending systems and infrastructures against malicious attacks, including those which cause initially-unsuspected structural damage.

متن کاملTowards Information Society Dependability Initiative in FP6: Roadmapping Activities in Dependability
Various recent EU publications have, either implicitly or explicitly, testified to the need for much higher, and more cost-effective levels of system dependability than is typically achieved by many of today’s complex ICT systems. For example, the Presidency Conclusions of the Lisbon European Council (23 and 24 March 2000) and the action plan for eEurope envisage a Europe which by 2010 will be ...
