Inhaltsangabe

The International Working Conference on Dependable Computing for Critical Applications was the first conference organized by IFIP Working Group 10. 4 "Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance", in cooperation with the Technical Committee on Fault-Tolerant Computing of the IEEE Computer Society, and the Technical Committee 7 on Systems Reliability, Safety and Security of EWlCS. The rationale for the Working Conference is best expressed by the aims of WG 10. 4: " Increasingly, individuals and organizations are developing or procuring sophisticated computing systems on whose services they need to place great reliance. In differing circumstances, the focus will be on differing properties of such services - e. g. continuity, performance, real-time response, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions. The notion of dependability, defined as that property of a computing system which allows reliance to be justifiably placed on the service it delivers, enables these various concerns to be subsumed within a single conceptual framework. Dependability thus includes as special cases such attributes as reliability, availability, safety, security. The Working Group is aimed at identifying and integrating approaches, methods and techniques for specifying, designing, building, assessing, validating, operating and maintaining computer systems which should exhibit some or all of these attributes. " The concept of WG 10. 4 was formulated during the IFIP Working Conference on Reliable Computing and Fault Tolerance on September 27-29, 1979 in London, England, held in conjunction with the Europ-IFIP 79 Conference. Profs A. Avi~ienis (UCLA, Los Angeles, USA) and A.

Reseña del editor

The proceedings of the IFIP Working Conference on Dependable Computing for Critical Applications contain an excellent review of the state of the art and novel developments in this important field. The twenty carefully selected papers have been extensively discussed by about one hundred international experts at the three day working conference in Santa Baraba, California. The varied backgrounds of the participants from academia, industry and research institutions from 13 countries and the unusual mix of conceptual and experimental presentations, gave rise to interesting and thought provoking discussions with the authors. Based on these discussions, the papers have been enhanced and revised and now appear in this unique hardbound volume, covering the following topics: Architectural Issues in Dependable Distributed Systems, Modelling and Validation, Assessment of Design Diversity, Design for Security and Fault Tolerance, Experimental Evaluation of Fault-Tolerance, Dependability of Railway Signaling Systems, Digital Computers Abord Airplanes, and many more. This book should be of interest to anyone who is involved in the design, development or maintenance of sophisticated computer systems for applications, where dependability concerns, such as reliability, safety, or security, are of major significance.
