The traditional use of formal methods has been for the veri cation of algorithms or protocols. Given the high cost and limitations in state space coverage provided by conventional...
One of the topics of paramount importance in the development of Grid middleware is the impact of faults, since their probability of occurrence in a Grid infrastructure and in larg...
This paper presents our research on devising a dependability assessment method for the upcoming OGSA 3.0 middleware using network level fault injection. We compare existing DCE mi...
We propose a two-phase methodology for quantifying the performability (performance and availability) of cluster-based Internet services. In the first phase, evaluators use a fault...
This paper presents a new and low-cost approach for identifying sequentially untestable faults. Unlike the single fault theorem, where the stuck-at fault is injected only in the r...
