The studies of strategies for ensuring the functional safety of hardware and software complexes based on system archetypes and architecture models

Abstract

The properties of distributed computing and communication systems are critical factors for the effective management of distributed complex systems within the network-centric approach. In different sources, devoted to the construction of computing and communication systems, it is emphasized that the quality of hardware and software complexes (network nodes), is determined by the quality of project management of its creation, one of the components of this is functional safety. The author emphasizes the uniqueness of projects, the distinctive features of software systems from complex systems of a different nature, which results in the specifics of project management for the creation of hardware and software complexes. The conceptual basis of this work is the well-known principle of complementarity by N. Bohr. This is expressed in the fact that the focus of the study is the generality of problem situations that occur in the managing of complex systems of different nature. Formal models of problem situations are system archetypes. The structures of architectures corresponding to the reactive and proactive strategies for ensuring the functional safety of hardware and software complexes are proposed. It is shown that the structures of architectures serve as the basis for the identification of system archetypes. This, in turn, creates the basis for the adaptation of algorithmic and parametric models developed for the study of complex systems of a different nature in the field of functional safety of components of computing and communication systems.
