Rate 0.0 /5

Monitoring the preservation of security and dependability (S&D) properties of complex software systems is widely accepted as a necessity. Basic monitoring can detect violations but does not always provide sufficient information for deciding what the appropriate response to a violation is. Such decisions often require additional diagnostic information that explains why a violation has occurred and can, therefore, indicate what would be an appropriate response action to it.

Summary

Monitoring the preservation of security and dependability (S&D) properties of complex software systems is widely accepted as a necessity. Basic monitoring can detect violations but does not always provide sufficient information for deciding what the appropriate response to a violation is. Such decisions often require additional diagnostic information that explains why a violation has occurred and can, therefore, indicate what would be an appropriate response action to it. In this thesis, we describe a diagnostic procedure for generating explanations of violations of S&D properties developed as extension of a runtime monitoring framewoek, called EVEREST. The procedure is based on a combination of abductive and evidential reasoning about violations of S&D properties which are expressed in Event Calculus.
