Systems are expected to evolve during their service life in order to cope with changes of
various natures, ranging from fluctuations in available resources to additional features …

Evolution of systems during their operational life is mandatory and both updates and
upgrades should not impair their dependability properties. Dependable systems must evolve …

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) frequently have to use massive redundancy to meet
application requirements for high reliability. While such redundancy is required, it can be …

Computer‐based systems are now expected to evolve during their service life to cope with
changes of various nature, ranging from evolution of user needs, eg, additional features …

Cyber-physical systems have become more prevalent in recent years. Computer control is
increasingly being considered for use in applications which are operationally resource …

Thermal issues in the cyber part of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) has attracted
considerable attention in recent years. Heat generation due to energy consumption results …

With the integration scale level reached in CMOS technology, memory systems provide a
great storage capacity, but at the price of an augment in their fault rate. In this way, the …

The evolution of systems during their operational lifetime is becoming ineluctable.
Dependable systems, which continuously deliver trustworthy services, must evolve in order …

The requirement for higher reliability and availability of systems is continuously increasing
even in domains not traditionally strongly involved in such issues. Solutions are expected to …

This paper proposes a model based framework for the design of dependable embedded
systems. First we define a meta-model to encompass the different concepts to capture fault …
