METHOD FOR DETERMING INTEGRITY IN AN EVOLUTIONARY COLLABORATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining integrity in an evolutionary collaborative information system (like a mobile telecommunication network or the Internet), by defining recursively the interaction of each component ensembles, defining constraints as interactional properties explicitly that are either measured, derived from measurements, or evaluated from other constraints or credentials in the context of an component ensemble, defining credentials as properties of components that are either measured, derived from measurements, or evaluated from other credentials in the context of an component ensemble, identifying for a service invocation the applied ensemble decompositions that realize the service, evaluating recursively the values of constraints and the values of credentials in the ensemble decompositions, determining the integrity of the ensembles as a function of the values of the credentials and constraints.
