ABSTRACT
How can the health (or the robustness) of a complex information processing system be quantitatively scored? This paper proposes an answer to that question. That answer is a hypothesis that must be tested. A proposal for doing so is provided. The motivation for and the reasoning leading to this hypothesis is also summarized. This is an abridged version of a paper that will be available on the MITRE website.
