Description: Fault-tolerant computing has evolved into a broad discipline, one that encompasses all aspects of reliable computer design. Diverse areas of fault-tolerant study range from failure mechanisms in integrated circuits to the design of robust software. Fault-tolerant computing is driven by a number of key factors, including ultra-high reliability, reduced life-cycle costs, and long-life applications. This book is intended to be both introductory and suitable for advanced-level graduates. Chapters can be selected in various combinations to provide courses with different orientations.
Notes: Includes bibliographies and indexes.
