Abstract
A computer hardware-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product prevents a cascading failure in a complex stream computer system causing an untrustworthy output from the complex stream computer system. Multiple upstream subcomponents in a complex stream computer system generate multiple outputs, which are used as inputs to a downstream subcomponent, wherein the multiple upstream subcomponents execute upstream computational processes. Each upstream computational process is examined to determine an accuracy of each identified output. An accuracy value is assigned to each of the multiple outputs from the upstream subcomponents, and weighting values are assigned to each of the inputs to the downstream subcomponent. The accuracy values and weighting values are utilized to dynamically adjust inputs to the downstream subcomponent until an output from the downstream subcomponent meets a predefined trustworthiness level.
