Foundations of Dependable Computing: Paradigms for Dependable
Applications, presents a variety of specific approaches to
achieving dependability at the application level. Driven by the
higher level fault models of Models and Frameworks for Dependable
Systems, and built on the lower level abstractions implemented in a
third companion book subtitled System Implementation, these
approaches demonstrate how dependability may be tuned to the
requirements of an application, the fault environment, and the
characteristics of the target platform. Three classes of paradigms
are considered: protocol-based paradigms for distributed
applications, algorithm-based paradigms for parallel applications,
and approaches to exploiting application semantics in embedded
real-time control systems. The companion volume subtitled Models
and Frameworks for Dependable Systems presents two comprehensive
frameworks for reasoning about system dependability, thereby
establishing a context for understanding the roles played by
specific approaches presented in this book's two companion volumes.
It then explores the range of models and analysis methods necessary
to design, validate and analyze dependable systems. Another
companion book (published by Kluwer) subtitled System
Implementation, explores the system infrastructure needed to
support the various paradigms of Paradigms for Dependable
Applications. Approaches to implementing support mechanisms and to
incorporating additional appropriate levels of fault detection and
fault tolerance at the processor, network, and operating system
level are presented. A primary concern at these levels is balancing
cost and performance against coverage and overall dependability. As
these chapters demonstrate, low overhead, practical solutions are
attainable and not necessarily incompatible with performance
considerations. The section on innovative compiler support, in
particular, demonstrates how the benefits of application
specificity may be obtained while reducing hardware cost and
run-time overhead.
