Examining Survivability of Systems of Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Previous research has identified design principles that enable survivability for systems, but it is unclear if these principles are appropriate and sufficient for systems of systems as well. This paper presents a preliminary examination of how some of the characteristic properties of systems of systems may enable or hinder survivability, based on existing design principles and a newly proposed taxonomy of disturbances. Two new design principles, defensive posture and adaptation, are introduced. The next phase of research will be to conduct empirical studies to validate the design principles against some of the characteristic properties of systems of systems, and test hypotheses about how survivability will be affected.

A Multi Objective Graph Based Model for Analyzing Survivability of Vulnerable Networks
In the various fields of disaster management, choosing the best location for the Emergency Support & Supply Service Centers (ESSSCs) and the survivability of the network that provides the links between ESSSCs and their environment has a great role to be paid enough attention. This paper introduces a graph based model to measure the survivability of the linking's network. By values computed for ...

متن کاملA Web-Based Survivability Control Architecture
1 INTRODUCTION We have begun to investigate a new architectural model for survivability monitoring and control of complex distributed information systems, such as those that underpin critical civic and other infrastructures. The model is a synthesis of two streams of thought. The first was presented in " Information Survivability Control Systems [4]. " That work suggests an approach to dynamic ...
متن کاملRequirements Definition for Survivable Network Systems
Pervasive societal dependency on large-scale, unbounded network systems, the substantial risks of such dependency, and the growing sophistication of system intruders, have focused increased attention on how to ensure network system survivability. Survivability is the capacity of a system to provide essential services even after successful intrusion and compromise, and to recover full services i...
متن کاملPreprint SURVIVABILITY CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF SPACE POWER SYSTEMS
Mission requirements for planned NASA and DOD spacecraft often include designing for survivability. The threats to the survivability of a spacecraft can be either manmade (e.g., ASATs, space debris) or natural (e.g., radiation belts, micrometeoroids). An overview of the principal kinds of manmade threats and the implications on the design of space power systems are discussed. In general, it is ...
