Abstract-We present a new form of quantitative safety analysis safety optimization. This method is a combination of fault tree analysis(FTA) and mathematical optimization technique...
We present a framework for transforming several quorum-based protocols so that they can dynamically adapt their failure threshold and server count, allowing them to be reconfigure...
We present the concept of alternative functionality for improving dependability in distributed embedded systems. Alternative functionality is a mechanism that complements traditio...
It is often the case that safety-critical systems have to be reconfigured during operation because of issues such as changes in the system's operating environment or the fail...
Model-checking has turned out to be an efficient and relatively easy-to-use technique in the verification of formally described programs. However, there is one major drawback in u...
