The increasing use of "commercial off-the-shelf" (COTS) components in safety critical scenarios, arises new issues related to the "dependable" use of third-party software in such contexts. The characteristics of these components, designed for a generic use, are such to make unpredictable the effects of their use whenever they are integrated in the entire system. The author's Ph.D project aim at proposing an approach to improve dependability of COTS based application, which consists of the following phases: i) each component is stimulated by proper workloads in order to learn the failure behavior; ii) from failure behaviors, the component failure model is defined; and iii) once the failure model is known for each component, the "component airbag" is thus created, i.e. a container able of exploiting the failure model in order to monitor and prevent the component from failing. An existent literature analysis, regarding the more used dependability assessment and improvement strategies, is also presented.
