Dependency Language Representation Using Conceptual Graphs. Autonomic Information Systems

Abstract

This study is founded on the assumption that understanding the complex dependencies in large mission critical systems is a requirement for predictable, safe long-term operation of such systems. In the absence of a standardized language to represent dependencies, this study investigates Conceptual Graphs to determine if they are capable of representing dependencies and if they show traits that make them a suitable representation for dependencies. The fundamental issue was developing a definition of dependencies among system and software components, then finding suitable representations of the definition. This is a precursor to developing a formal language for dependencies.
