Proactive recovery is a promising approach for building fault and intrusion tolerant systems
that tolerate an arbitrary number of faults during system lifetime. This paper investigates the …

Service integration and supply on-demand coming from cloud computing can significantly
improve the utilization of computing resources, reduce power consumption of per service …

System recovery latency is decreased by using microreboot to reboot only the failed
component instead of the entire system. For large, complex components, such as …

We propose new methods of leveraging virtualization for addressing system dependability
issues. Using combinatorial modeling, we analyze multiple design choices when a single …

The use of virtualisation technology on modern standard PC hardware has become popular
in the recent years. This paper presents the VM-FIT architecture, which uses virtualisation for …

We outline ways of leveraging virtualization for enhancing system dependability and
security, and describe the practical realization of some of these enhancements using the …

Checkpointing and rollback techniques enhance reliability and availability of virtual
machines and their hosted IT services. This paper proposes VM-μCheckpoint, a light-weight …

Durch die technische Entwicklung nimmt die Leistungsfähigkeit und Parallelität der
Hardware stetig zu, ihre Zuverlässigkeit nimmt hingegen tendenziell ab. Im Fokus dieser …

There are several advantages to use virtual machine monitors (VMMs) for better security,
reliability, and/or availability of systems. As embedded systems become more complex and …

This paper presents a flexible technique that can be applied to many-core architectures to
exploit idle resources and ensure reliable system operation. A dynamic fault tolerance layer …
