--- res: bibo_abstract: - Self-optimizing systems are able to adapt their behavior autonomously according to their current self-determined objectives. Unforeseen influences could lead to dependability-critical behavior of the system. Methods are required which secure self-optimizing systems during operation. These methods to increase the dependability of the system should already be taken into consideration in the design process. This paper presents a guideline for the dependability-oriented design of self-optimizing systems, which integrates established classical methods like failure mode and effects analysis as well as methods based on self-optimization. On the one hand self-optimization is used to increase the dependability of the system by integrating objectives like safety, availability, and reliability to the objectives of the system. On the other hand methods are required to ensure the self-optimization itself. As basis for this guideline serves the principle solution of the system. The six phases of the guideline extend the design process and lead to an enhanced principle solution. Additionally, the guideline illustrates phases to implement and validate the self-optimizing system. The proposed guideline is applied to an innovative rail-bound vehicle, called RailCab, which is equipped with self-optimizing function modules.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Christoph foaf_name: Sondermann-Wölke, Christoph foaf_surname: Sondermann-Wölke - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Tobias foaf_name: Hemsel, Tobias foaf_surname: Hemsel foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=210 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Walter foaf_name: Sextro, Walter foaf_surname: Sextro foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=21220 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jürgen foaf_name: Gausemeier, Jürgen foaf_surname: Gausemeier - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Sebastian foaf_name: Pook, Sebastian foaf_surname: Pook bibo_doi: 10.1109/INDIN.2010.5549490 dct_date: 2010^xs_gYear dct_language: eng dct_subject: - RailCab - dependability-critical behavior - dependability-oriented design - failure mode - rail-bound vehicle - secure self-optimizing systems - self-optimizing function modules - optimisation - railways - self-adjusting systems dct_title: Guideline for the dependability-oriented design of self-optimizing systems@ ...
