The sensitivity to
faults and attacks in computing systems, the increasing failure rate,
and the ever growing cost of the failures created a dependability and
security gap that is often perceived by users as a lack of trustworthiness
in computer applications. The need for improving trustworthiness and understand
the current risks calls for effective and accurate methods for measuring,
assessing and benchmarking dependability and resilience.
Although considerable efforts have already been made, measuring dependability
and resilience in computer systems still raises problems and challenges.
The workshop aimed at the presentation and exchange of ideas from the world wide research community, stimulating scientific research and fostering discussions in order to give answers to the key research challenges in this field.
The main topics of
the workshop:
- Highlighting the
peculiarities of modern computer systems and network
infrastructures from the viewpoint of measuring and assessing
resilience;
- Defining metrics and benchmarks for comparative evaluation
of the resilience of systems;
- Proposing assessment methodologies and tools that can be characterized on the basis of criteria and indicators known in (or related to) measurement theory, in order to facilitate a more rigorous treatment and fair comparison of resilience.
WORKSHOP PAPERS
3 extended abstracts and 5 work-in-progress reports were accepted for presentation. The final versions of the papers were published in the Supplemental Proceedings (CD-ROM) of DSN 2008. Additionally, the papers are available here on the web page of the workshop.
