Fault tolerance is the survival attribute of a system or component to continue operating as
required despite the manifestation of hardware or software faults. Fault‐tolerant software …

In order to assist software designers in the application of fault-tolerance techniques to large
scale software systems, a computer-aided software design tool has been proposed and …

The usual classification of software-caused system errors as internal, external, or pervasive
assumes a rippling propagation of errors through a hierarchy of structures. As a result, most …

Interest in software fauIt-tolerance (following an interest in fault-tolerance in general, and
prompted by the so-called “software crisis”) is now exhibited by many institutions. Though …

Software development processes and methods have been studied for decades. Despite that,
we still do not have reliable tools to guarantee that complicated software systems are fault …

Look to this innovative resource for the most comprehensive coverage of software fault
tolerance techniques available in a single volume. It offers you a thorough understanding of …

Both the scale and the reach of computer systems and embedded devices have been
constantly increasing over the last decade. As such computer systems become pervasive …

Terminology, techniques for building reliable systems, andfault tolerance are discussed.
While a scientific consensus on the measurement of software reliability has not been …

1.2 Background been The requirements for fault-tolerant software have advanced since the
early 1970's when such pioneers as Avizienis [AVIZ77] and Randall [RAND75] developed …

The increasing size and complexity of software systems makes it hard to prevent or remove
all possible faults. Faults that remain in the system can eventually lead to a system failure …
