We describe a new approach for the detection of clones in source code, which is inspired by
the concept of frequent itemsets from data mining. The source code is represented as an …

The authors consider a synchronous model of distributed computation in which n nodes
communicate via point-to-point messages, subject to the following constraints:(i) in a single" …

The overall performance improvement in Byzantine fault-tolerant state machine replication
algorithms has made them a viable option for critical high-performance systems. However …

This paper describes our research into the application of fault injection to Simple Object
Access Protocol (SOAP) based service oriented-architectures (SOA). We show that our …

The widespread use of Internet-of-Things (IoT) across different application domains leads to
an increased concern regarding their dependability, especially as the number of potentially …

Web Services are one of the most promising technologies for the development of component
based systems. Nevertheless, there are still several open issues which limit their potential …

In previous researches in the field of supporting reliability and fault tolerance in web service
composition, only low level programming constructs such as exception handling (for …

This paper describes the current state of the art in testing techniques that can be applied to
web services. It reviews the challenges encountered when testing web services in a …

Dependability is a key factor in any software system due to the potential costs in both time
and money a failure may cause. Given the complexity of grid applications that rely on …
