Closing the Dependability Gap: Converging Software Engineering With Middleware
Overview The inertness of today's software systems turns innovative applications into an obstacle rather than an enabler and results in dependability degradation during the systems' lifetime. Even more so, heterogeneity, scale, and dynamics open up what Laprie called the dependability gap. This paper identifies the need to converge methods from software engineering with traditional middleware and dependable systems research to close the dependability gap. In particular, the paper suggest a nested control loop approach, where the inner loop addresses short-term changes autonomously, while the outer loop addresses long-term evolution by run-time software engineering.
