Abstract
Abstract:
Increasingly software can be considered to be critical, due to the
business or other functionality which it supports. Upgrades or changes
to such software are expensive and risky, primarily because the software
has not been designed and built for ease of change. Expertise, tools and
methodologies which support the design and implementation of software
systems that evolve without risk (of failure or loss of quality) are
essential. We address a research agenda for building software in
computer-based systems that (a) is highly reliable and (b) retains this
reliability as it evolves, either over time or at run-time.
