Ambient Dependability
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper tries, on one side, to raise awareness on the level of complexity of future computer-based interconnected systems/infrastructures, at least as they are envisioned, and, on the other side, on the level of dependability we are today able to justify with confidence. This paper does not provide solutions, but tries to motivate that fundamental methods and methodologies must be reconsidered, studied, exploited, assessed and applied to move towards what can be called “ambient dependability”, a global view of the concept of dependability [1], which encompasses not only the technological aspects but includes inter and multi disciplinary fields, which span over ergonomics, usability, education, sociology, law and government, and convince a large audience that investing in it constitutes a very strategic Grand Challenge.

متن کاملOn Dependability Issues in Ambient Intelligence Systems
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is the emerging computing paradigm used to build next-generation smart environments. It provides services in a flexible, transparent, and anticipative manner, requiring minimal skills for human-computer interaction. Recently, AmI is being adapted to build smart systems to guide human activities in critical domains, such as, healthcare, ambient assisted living, and dis...
متن کاملTowards Precise and Certified Security Patterns
This paper presents a new application development process for ambient intelligence scenarios that considers security and dependability issues as core elements. It centres on the precise description of reusable security and dependability solutions (S&D solutions) stored in the form of S&D patterns. One of the main motivations of this approach is the practical impossibility for programmers to dev...
