Abstract

Dependability is widely understood as an integrated concept that consists of different attributes. The set of attributes and requirements of each attribute varies from application to application thus making it very challenging to define dependability for a broad amount of application. The dependability, however, is of great importance when dealing with autonomous or semi-autonomous systems, thus defining dependability for those kind of system is vital. Such autonomous mobile system are usually described by their behavior. In this paper a minimum set of attributes for the dependability of autonomous mobile systems is proposed based on a behavioral definition of dependability.
