Resilience Assessment and Evaluation of Computing Systems

Mehr zum Buch

The resilience of computing systems encompasses dependability, fault tolerance, and security, defining a system's ability to function correctly amid disturbances and recover from service degradation. This is crucial in a world reliant on the reliable and secure operation of large-scale distributed systems. Wolter and her co-editors have organized 20 chapters from leading researchers into seven parts: an introduction with motivating examples, modeling techniques, model-driven prediction, measurement and metrics, testing techniques, case studies, and conclusions. The core consists of 12 technical papers framed by real-world examples and case studies that highlight the necessity and application of the methods presented. While the technical chapters are independent and can be read in any order, readers will gain more from the case studies if they are paired with the related techniques. The papers cover topics such as modeling, benchmarking, testing, performance evaluation, and dependability, targeting academic and industrial researchers, graduate students, and lecturers in related fields. This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in a field of growing practical importance.
