With the rise of software complexity, software-related accidents represent a significant threat
for computer-based systems. Software Fault Injection is a method to anticipate worst-case …

This paper introduces a novel approach to automating failure diagnostics in distributed
systems by combining fault injection and data analytics. We use fault injection to populate …

(57) ABSTRACT A method is provided for the recovery of an instance of a job manager
running on one of a plurality of nodes used to execute the processing elements associated …

Cloud computing systems fail in complex and unexpected ways due to unexpected
combinations of events and interactions between hardware and software components. Fault …

Identifying the failure modes of cloud computing systems is a difficult and time-consuming
task, due to the growing complexity of such systems, and the large volume and noisiness of …

Fault injection is a pivotal technique in dependability benchmarking. Unfortunately, existing
general-purpose fault injection tools either inject faults in predetermined memory locations …

Software Fault Injection (SFI) is an established technique for assessing the robustness of a
software under test by exposing it to faults in its operational environment. Depending on the …

This paper presents the design and implementation of Jgroup/ARM, a distributed object
group platform with autonomous replication management along with a novel measurement …

A MapReduce framework abstracts distributed system issues, integrating a distributed file
system with an application's needs. However, the lack of determinism in distributed system …

System-S is a stream processing infrastructure which enables program fragments to be
distributed and connected to form complex applications. There may be potentially tens of …
