Beyond energy, the growing number of defects in physical substrates is becoming another
major constraint that affects the design of computing devices and systems. As the underlying …

This book is the first comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the New Deal and
examines how far the programme has succeeded in responding to the diversity of conditions …

Fault injection techniques based on the use of VHDL as design language offer important
advantages with regard to other fault injection techniques. First, as they can be applied …

In this paper, we propose a new SystemC-based fault injection technique that has improved
fault representation in visible and on-the-fly data and signal registers. The technique is …

A large number of enterprises need their commodity database systems to remain available
at all times. Although administrator mistakes are a significant source of unavailability and …

Nowadays, new submicron technologies have allowed increasing processors performance
while decreasing their size. However, as a side effect, their reliability has been negatively …

Critical embedded systems, like those used in avionics or automotive, have strong
dependability requirements and most of them must face with fault tolerance. One of the …

E-learning is a comparatively new concept, even newer is cloud computing. Thus, there is
need to increase research on how the two innovations can best work together. This paper …

With the scaling of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology to the
submicron range, designers have to deal with a growing number and variety of fault types. In …

As CMOS technology scales to the nanometer range, designers have to deal with a growing
number and variety of fault types. Particularly, intermittent faults are expected to be an …
