Assurance Case for Green IT Applications: Proof of Compliance with Power Consumption Claims

Abstract

In this paper we discussed Assurance Case fundamentals which are essential to apply that approach for Green IT. Notations and supporting tools for Assurance Case, as well as state-of-the-art researches survey are briefly represented. We also consider in general the main structure of safety and security requirements and goals which contain requirements to safety and security management, to safety and security life cycle and requirements to measures and techniques to avoid failures and attacks. Finally, we proposed a specific part of Assurance Case related with assessment of compliance with requirements to power consumption. We named the proposed methodology of integrated safety, security and power consumption assessment as "Green Assurance Case".
