A research project to investigate the design and construction of
reliable computing systems was initiated by B. Randell at the
University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1972. In over ten years of
research on system reliability, a substantial number of papers have
been produced by the members of this project. These papers have
appeared in a variety of journals and conference proceedings and it
is hoped that this book will prove to be a convenient reference
volume for research workers active in this important area. In
selecting papers published by past and present members of this
project, I have used the following criteria: a paper is selected if
it is concerned with fault tolerance and is not a review paper and
was published before 1983. I have used these criteria (with only
one or two exceptions ) in order to present a collection of papers
with a common theme and, at the same time, to limit the size of the
book to a reasonable length. The papers have been grouped into
seven chapters. The first chapter introduces fundamental concepts
of fault tolerance and ends with the earliest Newcastle paper on
reliability. The project perhaps became well known after the
invention of recovery blocks - a simple yet effective means of
incorporating fault tolerance in software. The second chapter
contains papers on recovery blocks, starting with the paper which
first introduced the concept.
