In this paper, we show how artificial evolution can be used to improve the fault-tolerance of electronic circuits. We show that evolution is able to improve the fault tolerance of...
This poster paper summarizes our research on fault tolerance arising as a by-product of the evolutionary computation process. Past research has shown evidence of robustness emergin...
This paper discusses some of the typical characteristics of modern Web applications and analyses some of the problems the developers of such systems have to face. One of such type...

This paper proposes a solution based on forward error recovery, oriented towards providing dependability of composite Web services. While exploiting their possible support for fau...
Replication is one of the prominent approaches for obtaining fault tolerance. Implementing replication on commodity hardware and in a transparent fashion, i.e., without changing t...
Fault tolerance requires the inclusion of redundant information. In this paper an on-line error detecting adder is presented in which the redundant information serves a dual purpo...

This paper investigates fault tolerance issues in Bistro, a wide area upload architecture. In Bistro, clients first upload their data to intermediaries, known as bistros. A destin...
We discuss research issues and models for vulnerabilities and threats in distributed computing systems. We present four diverse approaches to reducing system vulnerabilities and th...
Redundancy and diversity are commonly applied principles for fault tolerance against accidental faults. Their use in security, which is attracting increasing interest, is less gene...
– A safety-critical real-time computer system must provide its services with a dependability that is much better than the dependability of any one of its constituent components. ...
