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.

New Media Systems is...
Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.
Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.
Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
