Inhaltsangabe

Many software systems have reached a level of complication, mainly because of their size, heterogeneity and distribution, which results in faults appearing that cannot be traced back easily to the code. Some of these "faults" could also be unexpected program behavior that appears as a result of interactions between different parts of the program; this is commonly known as complexity. New methods, approaches, tools and techniques are needed to cope with the increasing complexity in software systems; amongst them, fault-tolerance techniques and formal methods, supported by the corresponding tools, are promising solutions. This book brings together papers focusing on the application of rigorous design techniques to the development of fault-tolerant, software-based systems.

This volume is an outcome of the REFT 2005 Workshop on Rigorous Engineering of Fault-Tolerant Systems held in conjunction with the Formal Methods 2005 conference at Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, in July 2005. The authors of the best workshop papers were asked to enhance and expand their work and a number of well-established researchers working in the area contributed invited chapters. From the 19 refereed and revised papers presented, 12 are versions reworked from the workshop; 9 of them are totally new. The book is rounded off by two provocatively different position on the role of programming languages.

He is a primary instructor and developer of an offensive cloud security course taught both privately and at Blackhat conferences in the United States, Europe, and Asia. He has previously collaborated with Dr. Oakley as the technical reviewer for Professional Red Teaming.Wayne York is a cybersecurity technical editor and subject matter expert with 18 years of experience focusing on offensive cybersecurity operations and program protection within government and commercial sectors. His previous technical edited book is Waging Cyber War by Dr. Oakley, published by Apress.Dr. Matthew Puckett is a mathematics professor and former software engineer. His areas of interest include theology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. His hobbies include chess, where he is currently one of the top 300 players in the United States (according to FIDE).Dr. J. Louis Sewell is a mathematician trained in Graph Theory. As Technical Fellow of a Huntsville, AL, technology company, he develops enduring solutions to critical infrastructure challenges in government and civilian sectors. Professionally and personally, he has a special interest in artificial intelligence ethics, infinite game dynamics, and the role of personal experience in the philosophy of science.
