Simulation tool for evaluation and design of resilience strategies

摘要

A resilient system is designed to survive and recover from failure or attack. Evaluating resilience strategies for a computer network is difficult because their effectiveness depends on numerous, complex, and interacting factors. This paper presents a simulation prototype for experimenting with resilience strategies, demonstrates scoring metrics for comprehensive evaluations, and highlights simulation results that reveal important parameters and trade-offs that influence resilience strategy performance. Experimental results supported expectations about resilience strategies and revealed strategy assumptions, unexpected emergent situations, and insights into strategy configurations that should be considered when designing a resilient network system.
