E-Books →Dependability of Networked Computer-based Systems (Springer Series in Reliability Engineering)

Dependability of Networked Computer-based Systems gives an overview of basic dependability modeling concepts and addresses new challenges in dependability modeling of networked computer-based systems, as well as new trends, their capabilities and limitations. It covers a variety of dependability modeling methods:
- stochastic processes,
- Markov and semi-Markov models,
- response-time distribution,
- stochastic Petri-net-based modeling formalisms, and
- Monte Carlo simulation models.
Dependability of Networked Computer-based Systems provides students and researchers with a detailed overview of dependability models and analysis techniques. Practicing engineers will also find this text a useful guide to decision-making based on system dependability at the design, operation and maintenance stages.
