Dependability model of services computing systems

Services computing systems were categorized as a new terminology in services computing. Research in the services computing systems was still limited so far. Previous studies inform that modeling and measurement of system ability in dependable computing have been conducted even before 2004, but only several publications specifically discussed ability measurement of services computing and/or services computing systems. One of the systems characters introduced by the researchers is dependability. Dependability was defined as the ability to avoid service failures. This paper identifies potential future research, offers an approach for a better understanding in services computing systems dependability as a basis for its measurement framework and also proposes the initial idea for modeling the dependability-aware dynamic reconfiguration in services computing systems.
