Software failures in aerospace systems can have serious consequences, making health management essential for safety-critical operations. This editorial is significant in promoting software health management as an established discipline and highlighting the gap between current practices and needed capabilities for managing software faults at runtime.
This editorial introduces and contextualizes software health management as a discipline for complex aerospace systems. The work discusses the application of health management techniques to software systems and presents an overview of emerging approaches that combine detection, diagnosis, and mitigation for ensuring system dependability.
The editorial provides a comprehensive overview of software health management foundations and presents several papers addressing detection, diagnosis, and mitigation. It establishes the state-of-the-art in software health management and motivates future research directions for improving software system dependability through advanced health management techniques.
