Abstract
Human social and economic life is becoming increasingly dependent on computers and information technologies. Many important systems such as banking, tax filing, traffic control, and even military functions are now controlled by or receive data feed from computers. Hence, the protection of IT systems from natural and man-made disasters has taken on critical importance. This paper presents a framework for building self-surviving IT systems that can defend themselves against and survive natural and man-made disasters such as earthquake, flood, fire, virus, intrusion, or outright war. The work presented here is a partial result of an ongoing research project called HERMES IT Shield we are conducting at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China.
