Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
| The DBench (Dependability Benchmarking) project aims at defining a conceptual framework and an experimental environment for benchmarking the dependability of COTS and COTS-based systems. It will provide system developers and end-users with means for 1) characterising and evaluating the dependability of a component or a system, 2) identifying malfunctioning or less weak parts, requiring more attention, 3) tuning a particular component to enhance its dependability, and 4) comparing the dependability of alternative or competing solutions. The two final objectives that will be produced at the end of the project are a report presenting the concepts, specifications and guidelines for dependability benchmarking and a set of dependability benchmark prototype tools. The prototypes will be made widely available (e.g., through the web whenever possible) to promote their adoption by an audience as wide as possible. 1. | |||||||||||||||||
