Most of them are based on the use of UML as software specification language. From the software system specification point of view, such techniques exploit the standard extension mechanisms of UML (i.e., UML profiling). UML profiles enable software engineers to add non-functional properties to the software model, in addition to the functional ones. The authors detail the state of the art on UML profile proposals for dependability specification and rigorously describe the trade-off they accomplish. The focus is mainly on RAMS (reliability, availability, maintainability and safety) properties. Among the existing profiles, they emphasize the DAM (Dependability Analysis and Modeling) profile, which attempts to unify, under a common umbrella, the previous UML profiles from literature, providing capabilities for dependability specification and analysis. In addition, they describe two prominent model-to-model transformation techniques, which support the generation of the analysis model and allow for further assessment of different RAMS properties. Case studies from different domains are also presented, in order to provide practitioners with examples of how to apply the aforementioned techniques.   Researchers and students will learn basic dependability concepts and how to model them using  UML and its extensions. They will also gain insights into dependability analysis techniques through the use of appropriate modeling formalisms as well as of model-to-model transformation techniques for deriving dependability analysis models from UML specifications. Moreover, software practitioners will find a unified framework for the specification of dependability requirements and properties of UML, and will benefit from the detailed case studies. 606 $aComputer software$xEvaluation 606 $aComputer science 606 $aSoftware engineering 615 0$aComputer software$xEvaluation. 615 0$aComputer science. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 676 $a004.0151 676 $a005.10285 700 $aBernardi$b Simona$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058316 702 $aMerseguer$b Jose 702 $aPetriu$b Dorina C. 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437574703321 996 $aModel-Driven Dependability Assessment of Software Systems$92499224 997 $aUNINA
