Software Architecture Reliability Analysis using Failure Scenarios

by Bedir Tekinerdogan, Hasan Sözer, Mehmet Aksit
"... We propose an approach for analyzing software architectures with respect to reliability to improve fault tolerance. The approach defines a failure scenario model that is based on the established failure modes and effects analysis method (FMEA) in the reliability engineering domain. Failure scenarios ..."

We propose an approach for analyzing software architectures with respect to reliability to improve fault tolerance. The approach defines a failure scenario model that is based on the established failure modes and effects analysis method (FMEA) in the reliability engineering domain. Failure

ALLIANCE: An Architecture for Fault Tolerant Multi-Robot Cooperation

by Lynne E. Parker - IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation , 1998
"... ALLIANCE is a software architecture that fa- cilitates the fault tolerant cooperative control of teams of heterogeneous mobile robots performing missions composed of loosely coupled subtasks that may have ordering dependencies. ALLIANCE allows teams of robots, each of which possesses a variety of hi ..."
Abstract - Cited by 508 (13 self) - Add to MetaCart
distributed, behavior-based architecture that incorporates the use of mathematically-modeled motivations (such as impatience and acquiescence) within each robot to achieve adaptive action selection. Since cooperative robotic teams usually work in dynamic and unpredictable environments, this software

ANALYSIS OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR HABITAT MONITORING

by Joseph Polastre, Robert Szewczyk, Alan Mainwaring, David Culler, John Anderson , 2004
"... We provide an in-depth study of applying wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to real-world habitat monitoring. A set of system design requirements were developed that cover the hardware design of the nodes, the sensor network software, protective enclosures, and system architecture to meet the require ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1490 (19 self) - Add to MetaCart
data is also useful for predicting system operation and network failures. Based on over one million 2 Polastre et. al. data readings, we analyze the node and network design and develop network reliability profiles and failure models.

Dynamo: amazon’s highly available key-value store

by Giuseppe DeCandia, Deniz Hastorun, Madan Jampani, Gunavardhan Kakulapati, Avinash Lakshman, Alex Pilchin, Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, Peter Vosshall, Werner Vogels - IN PROC. SOSP , 2007
"... Reliability at massive scale is one of the biggest challenges we face at Amazon.com, one of the largest e-commerce operations in the world; even the slightest outage has significant financial consequences and impacts customer trust. The Amazon.com platform, which provides services for many web sites ..."
Abstract - Cited by 684 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
the reliability and scalability of the software systems. This paper presents the design and implementation of Dynamo, a highly available key-value storage system that some of Amazon’s core services use to provide an “always-on ” experience. To achieve this level of availability, Dynamo sacrifices consistency

Scenario-Based Analysis of Software Architecture

by Rick Kazman, Gregory Abowd, Len Bass, Paul Clements - IEEE Software , 1996
"... Abstract: Software architecture is one of the most important tools for designing and understanding a system, whether that system is in preliminary design, active deployment, or maintenance. Scenarios are important tools for exercising an architecture in order to gain information about a system’s fit ..."
Abstract - Cited by 171 (23 self) - Add to MetaCart
-based architectural analysis is presented, using scenarios to analyze architectures with respect to achieving quality attributes. Finally, lessons and morals are presented, drawn from the growing body of experience in applying scenario-based architectural analysis techniques.

Improving the reliability of commodity operating systems

by Michael M. Swift, Brian N. Bershad, Henry M. Levy , 2003
"... drivers remain a significant cause of system failures. In Windows XP, for example, drivers account for 85 % of recently reported failures. This article describes Nooks, a reliability subsystem that seeks to greatly enhance operating system (OS) reliability by isolating the OS from driver failures. T ..."

Scenario-based reliability analysis of component-based software

by Sherif Yacoub, Bojan Cukic, Hany Ammar , 1999
"... Software designers are motivated to utilize off-the-shelf software components for rapid application development. Such applications are expected to have high reliability as a result of deploying trusted components. The claims of high reliability need further investigation based on reliability estimat ..."
Abstract - Cited by 42 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart
). SBRE is specific for component-based software whose analysis is strictly based on execution scenarios. Using scenarios, we construct a probabilistic model named "Component-Dependency Graph " (CDG). CDGs are directed graphs that represent components, component reliabilities, link

A survey on software architecture analysis methods

by Liliana Dobrica, Eila Niemelaè, Ieee Computer Society - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 2002
"... AbstractÐThe purpose of the architecture evaluation of a software system is to analyze the architecture to identify potential risks and to verify that the quality requirements have been addressed in the design. This survey shows the state of the research at this moment, in this domain, by presenting ..."
Abstract - Cited by 115 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
, by presenting and discussing eight of the most representative architecture analysis methods. The selection of the studied methods tries to cover as many particular views of objective reflections as possible to be derived from the general goal. The role of the discussion is to offer guidelines related to the use

Use Case Maps as Architectural Entities for Complex Systems

by R. J. A. Buhr - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1998
"... ABSTRACT. This paper presents a novel, scenario-based notation called Use Case Maps (UCMs) for describing, in a high-level way, how the organizational structure of a complex system and the emergent behavior of the system are intertwined. The notation is not a behavior specification technique in the ..."

Architecture-Based Approach to Reliability Assessment of Software Systems

by Katerina Goseva-Popstojanova, Kishor S. Trivedi
"... With the growing emphasis on reuse, software development process moves toward component--based software design. As a result, there is a need for modeling approaches that are capable of considering the architecture of the software and estimating the reliability by taking into account the interactions ..."
