“…The Information System Trustworthiness Some researchers consider the software trustworthiness [22][23][24], from the aspect of software development and software component [25], and analyze the software aging and information failure, and then use some advanced new models and methods which can improve information system design and heighten the reliability of IS running. Aiming at the safe problem of IS use, some other researchers probed into the security of IS running [26,27], though the side of firewall, agent technology and CA certification.…”

Abstract:In order to solve the problem of untrustworthy interactive process in distributed cooperative work environment, this paper, firstly, proposes a notion of "human-information system trusted interaction" and provides the basic research framework. Secondly, this paper illustrates the meaning of this notion and studies the characteristics of the trustworthiness about the human-information system trusted interaction. Finally, we analyses the key factors influencing the human-information system trusted interaction and puts forward a three-layer trustworthy interactive model based on agent. A trustworthy interaction management layer is inserted between users and information system. The management layer includes 5 agents. The Interaction agent and negotiation agent track and collect data of interactive behavior; monitor agent maintains global clock to guaranty temporal consistency; assessment and analysis agents used for determining abnormal interactive behaviors; and feedback agent is used for giving user prompt and early warning. To use this model, we constructed a trustworthy interaction chain of human-information system. Due to the each link of the chain is monitored and managed by the management layer, the trustworthiness of interaction process is guaranteed.

Software is playing a more and more important role in a system, and more and more studies show that system failures are more due to software faults than due to hardware faults. Therefore, software reliability has been one of the hottest research topics. Recently, a phenomenon, "software aging" is reported. In order to counteract this phenomenon, a proactive technique, "software rejuvenation" is presented. In this paper, we attempt to give an investigation on software rejuvenation, including software rejuvenation process, rejuvenation approaches and some practice.

Abstract-The reliability and availability of a cloud-based system play an important role in evaluating its system performance. Due to the promised high reliability of physical facilities provided for cloud services, software faults have become a major factor for failures of cloud-based systems. In this paper, we focus on the software aging phenomenon where system performance may be progressively degraded due to exhaustion of system resources, fragmentation and accumulation of errors. We present a proactive technique, called software rejuvenation, to counteract the software aging problem. The dynamic fault tree (DFT) formalism is adopted to model the system reliability before and during a software rejuvenation process in an aging cloud-based system. Then it is converted into Markov Chains to derive the system reliability function. We use a case study of a cloud-based system to illustrate the validity of our approach. Based on the reliability analysis results, we show how to estimate software rejuvenation schedules that can keep the system reliability above a predefined critical level for required system availability.
