With computers becoming embedded as controllers in everything from network servers to the routing of subway schedules to NASA missions, there is a critical need to ensure that systems continue to function even when a component fails. In this book, bestselling author Martin Shooman draws on his expertise in reliability engineering and software engineering to provide a complete and authoritative look at fault tolerant computing. He clearly explains all fundamentals, including how to use redundant elements in system design to ensure the reliability of computer systems and networks.

Ein Baustein versagt, aber das System funktioniert weiter: Dies erreicht man u.a. mit fehlertoleranten Rechenmethoden, in die viele redundante Elemente eingebaut wurden. Ob Netzwerkserver oder Transportmittel - Anwendungen gibt es viele. Der Autor behandelt diese Technologie umfassend und detailliert, wobei er besonders intensiv auf die Grundlagen eingeht. Darüber hinaus liefert er Hintergrundinformationen, z.B. zur Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und Zuverlässigkeitsanalyse, um dem Leser den Einstieg in das Thema zu erleichtern.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...develops the principles of reliability and availability analysis for computer networks, culminating in a n introduction network design principles." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002) "...a useful reference." (IEEE Computer-Review, August 2002)
"The author has created a wonderful toolbox for systems engineers. So much is right here in one place, and organized effectively. I recommend this book to anyone working on networks or systems where reliability is a concern." (IIE Transactions on Quality and Reliability Engineering)
"...very good practical hints...recommended for everyone who wants to learn either reliability fundamentals or know about the computer applications of reliability..." (Comsoc.org, April 2003)
