Emerging large-scale, dynamic and open heterogeneous service computing environments applied to realize critical services, call for solutions that guarantee high trustworthiness and resilience. In practice, the current situation, as well as the expected evolution of complex service provisioning systems and infrastructures, shows a clear trend towards dominant characteristics such as extreme complexity, heterogeneity, mobility, scalability, dynamicity, and a very large scale of composable components and services. To cope with the dynamic nature of large-scale systems and services, as well as with many other prominent practices, such as the use of agile software development methodologies where the requirements evolve during the system lifecycle, new methods and tools are needed. In practice, we need to researchnew methods, techniques and tools for improving the resilience and trustworthiness of future service software systems. This paper describes the research approach being carried out at the Software and Systems Engineering Research Group of the Centre for Informatics and Systems of the University of Coimbra, to address the existing challenges on developing and operating trustworthy and resilient service software systems.
