Dynamic environments may include autonomous and decentralised components that pose many challenges from the point of view of interoperability, thus triggering research studies in several directions. One recent research direction explores the automatic composition of heterogeneous systems through connectors synthesised at run-time. Besides functional properties, such connectors generally need to satisfy also non-functional (dependability-related) properties. This paper investigates the definition of an automated procedure to support the synthesis of dependable connectors.
