Technologies and Educational Challenges of Resilient Computing

By IGI Global on Mar 31, 2010
The International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS), (Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, University Antwerp, Belgium) provides high quality, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive and dependable systems that are built to sustain quality of service and experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. Providing academicians, practitioners, and researchers with insight, this journal contains useful software and hardware aspects, conceptual models, applied and theoretical approaches, paradigms, and other technological innovations.

The term resilient has been used in relation to dependable computing and synonymously with fault-tolerance, therefore ignoring the unforeseen development of ubiquitous computing systems. Such development can be seen due to the movement from already existing computing systems to future large, networked, evolving systems constituting complex information infrastructures which support ambient intelligence. Currently, very few universities offer a comprehensive program that is able to prepare students to handle challenges associated with the design of these ubiquitous systems.

"Technologies and Educational Challenges of Resilient Computing," an article from the recently released International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems, defines the term resilience when dealing with complex, ever changing, ubiquitous and pervasive systems. Researcher, Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy, discusses the multiple challenges that are posed by scalable resilience for ubiquitous systems, introducing educational issues in computer science and engineering and how present higher education institutions deal with the challenge of preparing students to cope with the problem of designing, evaluating and operating ubiquitous systems.

"A total change of scale is needed when moving to systems like the future large, networked, evolving systems constituting complex information infrastructures - perhaps involving everything from super-computers and huger-server ' farms' to myriads of small mobile computers and tiny embedded devices, with humans beings being the central part of the operation of such systems," states Simoncini. "They are in fact the emergence of the ubiquitous systems that will support ambient intelligence."

Higher education needs to develop methods in which to instruct this development in technology. "It is necessary for software engineering students to be well-versed in their field of study, particularly in the application of their study and not just the science of it. Software engineers must understand computer science, so that they can apply it when they need to," says Simoncini. "They should also understand the principles of building systems of industrial scale: how to specify, design, program, and assure them... Software engineering, like computer science, has 'fundamental concepts and underlying principles.' They too, can be taught."
