2016-2020                     CoRA: Continuous Resilience Assurance of Complex

Software-Intensive Systems

(funded by the Academy of Finland)

To start in September 2016

 

To facilitate development of resilient systems, we should combine a

broad range of modelling, verification and analysis techniques into an

integrated multi-objective development framework that enables explicit

reasoning about system resilience and trade-off analysis of diverse

properties. Such a framework should establish a continuum between the

design and run-time by complementing the design for resilience

approach with the advanced run-time mechanisms for continuous

resilience monitoring and diagnostics, as well as system adaptation and

dynamic reconfiguration.

The CoRA project will create a novel approach to enhancing

resilience of software-intensive systems -- the continuous resilience

assurance (CoRA) framework. Essentially, the CoRA framework will

integrate three different research   strands: formal modelling and 

verification,  Complex  Event  Processing, and epistemic reasoning. A

synergy of these frameworks will allow the designers to augment the

system design with the resilience-enhancing capabilities ensuring

continuous trustworthy service provisioning.

 

 

2016-2017                     Open-CPS: Open Integrated Framework for Accelerating

Development of Resilient CPS

(funded by the Academy of Finland)

 

Resilience is an ability of a system to deliver safe and reliable services

despite faults and changes. Achieving resilience is one the main

objectives of the development of cyber-physical systems (CPS), because

it implies that a system can adapt to different standards and

environments while remaining safe and fault tolerant.

The OpenCPS project aims at developing a support for cross-

domain engineering and multi-disciplinary CPS development. We will

create an abstraction layer enabling a seamless resilience-ensuring

integration of systems and components at the application level and

promoting design reuse. OpenCPS will leverage the role of modelling

and create a synergy of diverse verification and simulation technologies

that will results in developing of a powerful model-based experimentation

platform. The project will build the foundations for creating an open

integrated model-based framework for multidisciplinary and collaborative

engineering of smart CPS.
