Testing Adaptive Probabilistic Software Components in Cyber Systems

This paper addresses improved principles for verification and validation to establish confidence in robustness of adaptive software systems, to include uncertainty with respect to cyber environment and dynamics of internal system configuration. It applies to component based systems with probabilistic decision making at multiple levels and bridges the gap between checking the correctness of a single component and validating systems composed of many components.
