Improving file system reliability with I/O shepherding
We introduce a new reliability infrastructure for file systems called I/O shepherding. I/O shepherding allows a file system developer to craft nuanced reliability policies to de...

Bayesian Analysis for Fault Location in Homogeneous Distributed Systems
We propose a simple and practical probabilistic comparison-based model, employing multiple incomplete test concepts, for handling fault location in distributed systems using a Bay...

Supporting human-intensive systems
Executing critical systems often rely on humans to make important and sometimes life-critical decisions. As such systems become more complex, the potential for human error to lead...

Dynamics, Criticality and Self-Organization in a Model for Blackouts in Power Transmission Systems
A model has been developed to study the global complex dynamics of a series of blackouts in power transmission systems [1, 2]. This model has included a simple level of self-organ...
