Eight billion processors in 2001 (140 M of them in “real“ computers, so the focus should be on embedded systems)
“Featuremania“ vs. easily-distinguishable quality
Components + “glue“
Scalability, composability, local/remote processing
The World of NOMADs:
for Dependability Need for “composability“ with respect to properties
such as dependability timeliness security mobility
A generic concept of composability clear definition composability as property of a system architecture in
order to “map“ architecture‘s property to properties of its elements
Components and Architectures
ensures properties of systems built following the rules of the architecture
makes system design easier architecture makes it impossible to build system without
certain properties
simpler verification because of safety properties
shifts aspects from system design to architecture design
allows considering any property

Case Study:
Our Interests Design, Synthesis und Analysis of NOMADs (we can demonstrate
transatlantic experiments and the feasibility of the quality-of-service guarantees for web computing systems based on commercial off-the-shelf components)
End-to-End Availability and Real Time
Life Cycles (esp. Deployment, (Re)Configuration and Online Replacement)
