Foundations of Dependable Computing: Models and Frameworks for Dependable System

Description: Foundations of Dependable Computing by Gary M. Koob, Clifford G. Lau Foundations of Dependable Computing: Models and Frameworks for Dependable Systems presents two comprehensive frameworks for reasoning about system dependability, thereby establishing a context for understanding the roles played by specific approaches presented in this books two companion volumes. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Foundations of Dependable Computing: Models and Frameworks for Dependable Systems" presents two frameworks for reasoning about system dependability, thereby establishing a context for understanding the roles played by specific approaches presented in this books two companion volumes. It then explores the range of models and analysis methods necessary to design, validate and analyze dependable systems. A companion to this book (published by Kluwer), subtitled "Paradigms for Dependable Applications", presents a variety of specific approaches to achieving dependability at the application level. Driven by the higher-level fault models of "Models and Frameworks for Dependable Systems", and built on the lower-level abstractions implemented in a third companion book subtitled "System Implementation", these approaches demonstrate how dependability may be tuned to the requirements of an application, the fault environment, and the characteristics of the target platform.Three classes of paradigms are considered: protocol-based paradigms for distributed applications, algorithm-based paradigms for parallel applications, and approaches to exploiting application semantics in embedded real-time control systems. Another companion book (published by Kluwer) subtitled "System Implementation", explores the system infrastructure needed to support the various paradigms of "Paradigms for Dependable Applications". Approaches to implementing support mechanisms and to incorporating additional appropriate levels of fault detection and fault tolerance at the processor, network, and operating system level are presented. A primary concern at these levels is balancing cost and performance against coverage and overall dependability. As these chapters demonstrate, low overhead, practical solutions are attainable and not necessarily incompatible with performance considerations. The section on innovative compiler support, in particular, demonstrates how the benefits of application specificity may be obtained while reducing hardware cost and run-time overhead. Author Biography Shirley McKay was born in Tynemouth but now lives with her family in Fife. At the age of fifteen she won the Young Observer playwriting competition, her play being performed at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs. She went on to study English and Linguistics at the University of St Andrews before attending Durham University for postgraduate study in Romantic and seventeenth century prose. She was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger. Shirley works as a freelance proofreader.
