The Willow Survivability Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction The Willow architecture provides a comprehensive architectural approach to the provision of survivability [8] in critical information networks. It is based on the notion that survivability of a network requires reconfiguration at both the system and the application levels. The Willow notion of reconfiguration is very general, and the architecture provides reconfiguration mechanisms for both automatic and manual network control. In this paper we summarize the Willow concepts and provide an overview of the Willow architecture. Finally we describe a demonstration application system that has been built on top of a prototype Willow implementation.

The Willow architecture is a comprehensive approach to survivability in critical distributed applications. Survivability is achieved in a deployed system using a unique combination of (a) fault avoidance by disabling vulnerable network elements intentionally when a threat is detected or predicted, (b) fault elimination by replacing system software elements when faults are discovered, and (c) fa...

متن کاملRiparian Seedling Mortality from Simulated Water Table Recession, and the Design of Sustainable Flow Regimes on Regulated Rivers
Seasonal water limitation exerts a strong ecological filter on stream communities in semiarid regions. For firstyear riparian willow and poplar tree seedlings, desiccation from rapidly declining river flows can limit reproduction, especially on rivers in which flow regulation and land conversion have limited the amount of area available for recruitment. We investigated survivorship of first-yea...
متن کاملA Case Study in Survivable Network System Analysis
This paper presents a method for analyzing the survivability of distributed network systems and an example of its application. Survivability is the capability of a system to fulfill its mission, in a timely manner, in the presence of attacks, failures, or accidents. Survivability requires capabilities for intrusion resistance, recognition, and recovery. The Survivable Network Analysis (SNA) met...

Considerations of survivability and resiliency have always been of importance in the design and analysis of military systems. Over the past two decades, the importance of survivability and resiliency has expanded beyond military systems to include public networks and infrastructure systems. The analysis and assessment of networked systems with respect to survivability has become particularly ac...
