This book addresses the question of how system software should be
designed to account for faults, and which fault tolerance features
it should provide for highest reliability. With this second edition
of Software Design for Resilient Computer Systems the book is
thoroughly updated to contain the newest advice regarding software
resilience. With additional chapters on computer system performance
and system resilience, as well as online resources, the new edition
is ideal for researchers and industry professionals. The authors
first show how the system software interacts with the hardware to
tolerate faults. They analyze and further develop the theory of
fault tolerance to understand the different ways to increase the
reliability of a system, with special attention on the role of
system software in this process. They further develop the general
algorithm of fault tolerance (GAFT) with its three main processes:
hardware checking, preparation for recovery, and the recovery
procedure. For each of the three processes, they analyze the
requirements and properties theoretically and give possible
implementation scenarios and system software support required.
Based on the theoretical results, the authors derive an
Oberon-based programming language with direct support of the three
processes of GAFT. In the last part of this book, they introduce a
simulator, using it as a proof of concept implementation of a novel
fault tolerant processor architecture (ERRIC) and its newly
developed runtime system feature-wise and performance-wise. Due to
the wide reaching nature of the content, this book applies to a
host of industries and research areas, including military,
aviation, intensive health care, industrial control, and space
exploration.

Professor Kaegi studies the response of the eastern half of the
Roman Empire to the disintegration of western Rome, usually dated
from the sack of the city of Rome in A.D. 410. Using sources from
the fifth and sixth centuries, he shows that the eastern empire had
a clear awareness of, interest in, and definite opinions on the
disasters that befell Rome in the west. Religious arguments, both
Pagan and Christian, tended to dominate the thinking of the
intellectuals, but economic and diplomatic activity also
contributed to the reaction. This reaction, the author finds, was
in a distinctly eastern manner and reflected quite naturally the
special conditions prevailing in the eastern provinces. Originally
published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
The Greek-German school dictionary developed in the second half of
the 19th century by Gustav Eduard Benseler, is still an essential
reference work today, thanks especially to the last extensive
revision in 1931. The main content of the dictionary was based on
the works of Homer, Herodotus, Aischylos, Sophokles, Euripides,
Thucydides, Xenophon, Plato, Lysias and the New Testament.
