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...
