[eBook] [PDF] For Dependable Computing Design and Assessment 1st Edition By Ravishankar K. Iyer, Zbigniew T. Kalbarczyk, Nithin M. Nakka

Dependable ComputingCovering dependability from software and hardware perspectives

Dependable Computing: Design and Assessment looks at both the software and hardware aspects of dependability.

This book:

• Provides an in-depth examination of dependability/fault tolerance topics
• Describes dependability taxonomy, and briefly contrasts classical techniques with their modern counterparts or extensions
• Walks up the system stack from the hardware logic via operating systems up to software applications with respect to how they are hardened for dependability
• Describes the use of measurement-based analysis of computing systems
• Illustrates technology through real-life applications
• Discusses security attacks and unique dependability requirements for emerging applications, e.g., smart electric power grids and cloud computing
• Finally, using critical societal applications such as autonomous vehicles, large-scale clouds, and engineering solutions for healthcare, the book illustrates the emerging challenges faced in making artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications dependable and trustworthy.
