The overall objective throughout the whole project will be the advancement of knowledge in the field of resiliency assurance and improvement in complex systems, in particular in the context of LCCIs, which are characterized by challenging aspects only in part addressed in the past. In particular, the project will foster the advancement of the state of art in the fields of distributed systems (e.g., novel gossip communication schemes, more efficient and reliable data dissemination techniques), hardware and software diagnosis (e.g., application of most recent advancements in machine learning for handling uncertainty in LCCIs), and software engineering (e.g., more reliable and cost/time efficient techniques for evaluation of component-based systems, by means of novel testing and modeling approaches). Those advancements are crucial for improving trustworthiness on ICT facilities, and spreading their adoption in very critical scenarios involving crucial infrastructures for modern society (e.g., water and energy supply, transports, healthcare), in order to make a step towards a future world in which ICT will seamlessly supervise physical systems, with minimal human supervision, and automatic maintenance, update and evolution of the system.
The project will deliver novel contributions to the problem of assessing and assuring resiliency, in terms of:
