Abstract

Monitoring the operation of complex softare systems at runtime can detect violations of certain properties of interest but cannot always provide diagnostic information which is significant for understanding the cause of the violation and the adoption of appropriate countermeasures against it. In this paper, we describe a process for diagnosing runtime violations of security and dependability properties that we have developed as part of a general runtime monitoring framework that is based on Event Calculus. The diagnosis generation process is based on a combination of abductive, temporal and evidential reasoning over violations of system properties.
