Abstract:
Collaborative computing environments are dynamic compositions of communicating components that interact with each other to achieve a common goals. The collaborations continuously reconfigure to achieve the required goals. Ensuring correctness of complex component interactions is cumbersome and requires structuring techniques that allow us to model and analyse component interactions in a systematic way. In this paper, we propose a set of modelling abstractions that allow us to define component interactions in dynamic collaborative environments. We propose a structured approach to analysing possible deviations in the component interactions based on HAZOP – Hazard and Operability Study -- and formally define the impact of deviations in component interactions on achieving the required goals.
