Studies have shown that device drivers and extensions contain 3–7 times more bugs than other operating system code and thus are more likely to fail. Therefore, we present a fail...

This paper considers the problem of electing an eventual leader in an asynchronous shared memory system. While this problem has received a lot of attention in messagepassing syste...
A flexible model for estimating reliability of RAID storage systems is presented. This model corrects errors associated with the common assumption that system times to failure fol...
The usage of mobile devices like cell phones, navigation systems, or laptop computers, is limited by the lifetime of the included batteries. This lifetime depends naturally on the...

If we hope to automatically detect and diagnose failures in large-scale computer systems, we must study real deployed systems and the data they generate. Progress has been hampere...
Dynamic Fault Trees (DFT) extend standard fault trees by allowing the modeling of complex system components’ behaviors and interactions. Being a high level model and easy to use...
Replicated systems that run over partitionable environments, can exhibit increased availability if isolated partitions are allowed to optimistically continue their execution indep...
