The probability that a failure will occur before the end of the computation increases as the number of processors used in a high performance computing application increases. For l...
Commodity computer clusters are often composed of hundreds of computing nodes. These generally off-the-shelf systems are not designed for high reliability. Node failures therefore...
Researchers have been emphasizing the strong role that multi-agent systems can play progressively towards the design and implementation of complex autonomic systems. The aim of th...
In the telecommunications sector product development must minimise time to market while delivering high levels of dependability, availability, maintainability and scalability. High...
—The number of CPUs in chip multiprocessors is growing at the Moore’s Law rate, due to continued technology advances. However, new technologies pose serious reliability challen...
