Lifecycle Considerations for Survivable Systems

Posted July 25, 2000 | Leadership | Technology | Amplify

There is renewed interest in development of systems that are able to survive attacks, accidents, and failures, while maintaining the ability to provide users with essential services [1]. Such systems require new approaches during various lifecycle activities. We find that a spiral model, modified to highlight survivability considerations, is one way to approach systems development so as to gain survivability [2].
