During the last fifty years Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has contributed to almost all sectors of organized societies. As a result, information security is fundamental for several social and business processes that rely on ICT. One dimension of information security concerns availability of information and computational resources. It is essential for a system’s correct operation and its acceptance from end-users to respond with proper reaction times to authorized requests. But whereas other security parameters have been studied and analysed very well, availability has not. Throughout this paper this fundamental parameter of ICT security is under study through a qualitative perspective. We aim at providing the basis for a consequent formalistic foundation of information availability. Approaches like these may be useful for the conceptual description of the problem domain, whilst this conceptualisation may also help in the realization of the guidelines, which are essential for the development of secure information systems.
