In complex biological systems, the hypothesis that bio-diversity contributes to stability or robustness is an active debate. The FP7 DIVERSIFY project tests whether this hypothesis holds for software systems, and explores the use of diversity as a heuristic to increase robustness in self-adaptive architectures. Inspired by Ecology, we present here a technique to evaluate diversity of software architectures...
Web application development benefits massively from modular architectures and reuse. This excellent software engineering practice is also the source of a new form of monoculture in application-level code, which creates a potential risk for dependability. Researchers propose using software diversification in multiple components of Web applications to reconcile the tension between reuse and dependability...
Various services are now available in the Cloud, ranging from turnkey databases and application servers to high-level services such as continuous integration or source version control. To stand out of this diversity, robustness of service compositions is an important selling argument, but which remains difficult to understand and estimate as it does not only depend on services but also on the underlying...
