Reliability Support for the Model Driven Architecture

Reliability is an important concern for software dependability. Quantifying dependability in terms of reliability can be carried out by measuring the continuous delivery of a correct service or, equivalently, of the mean time to failure. The novel contribution of this paper is to provide a means to support reliability design following the principles of the Model Driven Architecture(MDA). By doing this, we hope to contribute to the task of consistently addressing dependability concerns from the early to late stages of software engineering. Additionally, we believe MDA can be a suitable framework to realize the assessment of those concerns and therefore, semantically integrate analysis and design models into one environment.
