NSC-Quality-driven integrated system design

随着信息技术渗透到经济和社会活动的各个领域并迅速扩大规模，对基础系统的依赖日益强调可靠性、可用性、安全性、安全性、能效和无数其他共同构成系统质量的属性。此外，必要的功能持续集成使IT基础设施的设计者和提供者对设计方法、工具和架构进行了类似的探索，在这些设计方法、工具和架构中，所有的质量方面都经过了深思熟虑的构建。同样的工具和架构也为可自我管理和自适应的系统提供了基础设施。这个项目旨在解决为质量而设计的基本问题，并提供解决实际问题的方法，以达到经济和相对快速的方法，以实现足够高质量的信息技术产品。首先，我们将确定在质量改进范围内常见的原子任务，并提出自动化这些任务并从强大的计算能力中获益的方法。大多数情况下，动态或基于模拟的方法用于验证、测试开发和其他与质量相关的任务，我们将为促进高度可并行化的基于模拟的质量方案奠定基础

As information technology is permeating every area of economical and social activities and rapidly scaling up in the size, the reliance on the underlying systems is increasingly putting an emphasis on the reliability, availability, safety, security, energy efficiency and a myriad of other attributes that collectively contribute to the quality of the system. Further, the necessary continuing integration of functionality is placing the designers and providers of the IT infrastructure on a similar quest for the design methodologies, tools and architectures where the totality of the quality aspects are thoughtfully built in. The same tools and architectures are also providing the infrastructure for self-manageable and adaptive systems. This project aims to address the fundamental questions of designing for quality and provide the means to tackle the practical problems in arriving at economical and relatively rapid means to achieve the IT products of sufficient quality. First, we will identify the atomic tasks common across the quality improvement spectrum and propose the means to automate them and benefit from the immense compute power. Most often, the dynamic, or simulation-based methods are used for validation, test development and other quality-related tasks, and we will develop the bases for facilitating highly parallelizable simulation-based schemes for quality
