Abstract:

We present a simulation model designed for evaluation of dependability in distributed systems. The model is a modification of the MONARC simulation model by adding new capabilities for capturing the reliability, safety, availability, security, and maintainability requirements. It includes components for failures injection, and it provides evaluation mechanisms for different replication strategies, redundancy procedures, and security enforcement mechanisms. The model is implemented as an extension of the multi-threaded, process oriented simulator MONARC, which allows the realistic simulation of a wide-range of distributed system technologies, with respect to their specific components and characteristics. The experimental results show that the application of the discrete-event simulators in the design and development of the dependable distributed systems is appealing due to their efficiency and scalability
