Because of our present inability to produce error-free software, software fault tolerance is
and will continue to be an important consideration in software systems. The root cause of …

Software failures are now known to be a dominant source of system outages. Several
studies and much anecdotal evidence point to “software aging” as a common phenomenon …

The growing complexity of hardware and software mandates the recognition of fault
occurrence in system deployment and management. While there are several techniques to …

This paper discusses the modeling tool called SHARPE (Symbolic Hierarchical Automated
Reliability and Performance Evaluator), a general hierarchical modeling tool that analyzes …

Cloud computing research is in great need of statistical parameters derived from the
analysis of real-world systems. One aspect of this is the failure characteristics of Cloud …

As we continue to evolve into large-scale parallel systems, many of them employing
hundreds of computing engines to take on mission-critical roles, it is crucial to design those …

Time series shapelet discovery algorithm finds subsequences from a set of time series for
use as primitives for time series classification. This algorithm has drawn a lot of interest …

System availability is a major performance concern in distributed systems design and
analysis. A typical kind of application on distributed systems has a homogeneously …

With ever growing use of Internet, Web services become increasingly popular and their
