With the rise of software complexity, software-related accidents represent a significant threat
for computer-based systems. Software Fault Injection is a method to anticipate worst-case …

Because of our present inability to produce error-free software, software fault tolerance is
and will continue to be an important consideration in software systems. The root cause of …

This paper gives the main definitions relating to dependability, a generic concept including a
special case of such attributes as reliability, availability, safety, integrity, maintainability, etc …

This paper addresses the general area of computer architectures for safety-critical real time
applications. The maximum acceptable probability of failure for these applications ranges …

The authors describe a dependability evaluation method based on fault injection that
establishes the link between the experimental evaluation of the fault tolerance process and …

The commercial offer concerning microkernel technology constitutes an attractive alternative
for developing operating systems to suit a wide range of application domains. However, the …

In this paper we propose a methodology and a prototype tool to evaluate web application
security mechanisms. The methodology is based on the idea that injecting realistic …

This textbook intends to be a comprehensive and substantially self-contained two-volume
book covering performance, reliability, and availability evaluation subjects. The volumes …

The growing number of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is considerable in the last
decades. Many flight test scenarios, including single and multi-vehicle formation flights, are …

As software for distributed systems becomes more complex, ensuring that a system meets its
prescribed specification is a growing challenge that confronts software developers. This is …
