Abstract
A computer-implemented method and an apparatus for determining an optimal system configuration out of a plurality of candidate system configurations j is provided. The method includes: receiving data indicating a plurality of candidate system configurations j; determining quantitative dependability metric value for each of the plurality of candidate system configurations j, wherein the quantitative dependability metric value for each of the plurality of candidate system configurations is a dependability property fulfilment value Xfor each list of dependability properties i for each individual candidate system configuration j; and further on b) a dependability property weighting factor Kfor each of the list of dependability properties i for all of the plurality of candidate system configurations j; and determining an optimal system configuration out of the plurality of candidate system configurations j on a quantitative comparison between the quantitative dependability metric value for each of the candidate system configurations j.
