Taxonomy of Evolution and Dependability
نویسنده
چکیده
Evolution is one of the major issues affecting system dependability as well as engineering activities and environments. The most common understanding considers evolution as a phenomenon that needs to be avoided. By contrast this paper takes into account evolution as a necessary feature of computerbased systems. This paper reviews a taxonomy of evolution identifying a conceptual framework to analyse evolutionary phenomena of computer-based systems as well as models of evolutions and their limits. The taxonomy of evolution points out different dependability aspects of computer-based systems. In conclusion, this paper provides a conceptual framework to analyse evolution and its influence on the dependability of computer-based systems.

Recent research effort has beenmade to integrate both dependability and security concepts for SOA using fault taxonomy. However most of such work is confined to the SOA functionality layer excluding the interactions with its underlying distributed systems. Also many elements of taxonomies proposed are loosely integrated without generic interactive relationships. This is especially true when sec...
متن کاملPerspectives in taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus Astragalus (Fabaceae): a review
The genus Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) is reviewed from both phyloenetic and taxonomic points of view. As the largest genus of flowering plants it has attracted many researchers, but much work remains to be done. A short taxonomic history with special focus on infrageneric classification of the genus, a list of phylogenetic studies including the applied markers and sampling strategies as well a...
متن کاملElements of the Self-Healing System Problem Space
One of the potential approaches to achieving dependable system operation is to incorporate so-called “self-healing” mechanisms into system architectures and implementations. A previous workshop on this topic exposed a wide diversity of researcher perspectives on what self-healing systems really are. This paper proposes a taxonomy for describing the problem space for self-healing systems includi...
