Abstract

Designing and managing dependable systems is a difficult endeavor. In this paper, we describe challenges in this vast problem space, including provisioning and allocating shared resources, adaptively managing system dependability, expressing dependability goals, interactively exploring the design space, and designing end-to-end service dependability. We outline the optimization-based approach we've used to tackle the data dependability portion of this space, and describe how we can extend that approach to address an even larger dependability scope.

EW 10: Proceedings of the 10th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop

If you can't make your data dependable, then you can't make your computing dependable, either. The good news is that the list of data protection techniques is long, and growing. The bad news is that the choices they offer are getting more complicated: ...
Improving the dependability of computer networks
Measures of Dependability

This paper defines dependability as the probability that a system will be able to operate when needed. There are many possible measures of dependability. Three of the most important are pointwise availability---the probability that the system will be ...
