Abstract
Web based information systems are exposed to various faults during their lifetime (originating in the hardware, in the software or stemming from security vulnerabilities). Service reconfiguration strategies are used to improve their resilience. A risk assessment approach is proposed to analyze the vulnerabilities of the system with reconfiguration. The proposed technique involves assessment of likelihood and consequences of occurrence of various fault combinations handled by the reconfiguration strategies.
