“…In [12], we propose a coordination model to improve software system attack-tolerance and survivability in open hostile environment. Survivable feedback loops are built in this distributed coordination model to exclude the faulty entities from the system and protect the system from being broken down by single failures.…”

For distributed software systems, ensuring their availability under intentional attacks is critical. Traffic analysis, conducted by the attacker, could reveal the protocol being carried out by the components.Furthermore, having inferred the protocol, the attacker can use the pattern of the messages as a guide to the most critical components. We thwart these directed attacks by using message forwarding to reduce traffic differences, thus diverge attackers from targeted attack to random attack, which probabilistically prolongs the availability of important components in the system. The simulation results also show that message forwarding effectively balance the traffic flow and hence indicate the validity of our approach.

The complex software systems often involve many subsystems or components. Coordination among subsystems or components is a central issue in complex software development. The complexity of today software systems requires separation of coordinating entities from computational entities and runtime coordination. The paper presents a coordination framework that divides the system into coordinators and computational entities. The computational entities are represented as roles, processes and services so as to provide coordination with fine granularity. The coordinators are responsible for coordination among the roles. In our framework, coordinators are divided into three types: resource coordinator, communication coordinator and task coordinator. A set of general purposed data table I/O APIs are developed for relational databases, and some frequently used table I/O manipulations are provided as templates. In the paper, the strategies of coordination-oriented software development are discussed. A coordination framework based application development approach is proposed by a practical Commodity Trading System.
