The most important uses of computing in the future will be those
related to the global 'digital convergence' where all computing
becomes digital and internetworked. This convergence will be
propelled by new and advanced applications in storage, searching,
retrieval and exchanging of information in a myriad of forms. All
of these will place heavy demands on large parallel and distributed
computer systems because these systems have high intrinsic failure
rates. The challenge to the computer scientist is to build a system
that is inexpensive, accessible and dependable. The chapters in
this book provide insight into many of these issues and others that
will challenge researchers and applications developers. Included
among these topics are: * Fault-tolerance in communication
protocols for distributed systems including synchronous and
asynchronous group communication. * Methods and approaches for
achieving fault-tolerance in distributed systems such as those used
in networks of workstations (NOW), dependable cluster systems, and
scalable coherent interfaces (SCI)-based local area multiprocessors
(LAMP).* General models and features of distributed safety-critical
systems built from commercial off-the-shelf components as well as
service dependability in telecomputing systems. * Dependable
parallel systems for real-time processing of video signals. *
Embedding in faulty multiprocessor systems, broadcasting,
system-level testing techniques, on-line detection and recovery
from intermittent and permanent faults, and more. Fault-Tolerant
Parallel and Distributed Systems is a coherent and uniform
collection of chapters with contributions by several of the leading
experts working on fault-resilient applications. The numerous
techniques and methods included will be of special interest to
researchers, developers, and graduate students.
