Architectural Description of Dependable Software Systems
This event took place on Monday 24 April 2006 at 14:00

 
Dr Cristina Gacek University of Newcastle

The structure of a system is what enables it to generate the system's behaviour from the behaviour of its components. The architecture of a software system is an abstraction of the actual structure of that system. It should only be as complex as it needs to be while fostering the system's dependability ( i.e., the ability to deliver a service that users can justifiably trust).

Architecture description languages (ADLs) are used to describe software system architectures. They support communication among various stakeholders, as well as early analysis and feasibility studies of architectural design decisions.

In this talk I will discuss how ADLs currently address the means to attain dependability, namely fault prevention, fault tolerance, fault removal, and fault forecasting.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
