Abstract: In this article, we propose a domain specific language for the
"fault management for mission critical systems" domain that also supports
rule-based operation. Variability management for a software product line, hence
configuration of specific products will be achieved by programming various
nodes in a "Software Factory Automation" based architecture, through this
language. The architecture suggests a distributed set of interconnected "Domain
Specific Engines" that interpret specific languages. Those engines and their
corresponding languages assume different fault management capabilities,
therefore suggest the design of different languages for fault monitoring,
detection, prevention, diagnosis, and repair. The overall fault management
capabilities should be supported by the composition of those languages. A
high-level definition of the language is presented. The objective of the study
is to provide an infrastructure that is more predictable for the development
success of fault management systems for families of complex embedded mission
critical applications.
