Dependability of Networked Computer-based Systems

摘要: The measurement of dependability attributes on real systems is a very time-consuming and costly affair, making analytical or simulation modeling the only viable solutions. Dependability Networked Computer-based Systems explores reliability, availability safety networked computer-based used in life-critical applications such as avionics, nuclear power plants, automobiles chemical process industries. gives an overview basic concepts addresses new challenges systems, well trends, their capabilities limitations. It covers variety methods: stochastic processes,Markov semi-Markov models,response-time distribution,stochastic Petri-net-based formalisms, andMonte Carlo models.Dependability provides students researchers with detailed models analysis techniques. Practicing engineers will also find this text useful guide to decision-making based system at design, operation maintenance stages.
