Resilience assessment and evaluation of computing systems

More about the book

The resilience of computing systems encompasses dependability, fault tolerance, and security, defining their ability to function effectively amidst disturbances and recover from service degradation. These attributes are crucial in a world reliant on the reliable and secure operation of large-scale distributed systems. The editors have organized 20 chapters from leading researchers into seven parts: an introduction, modeling techniques, model-driven prediction, measurement and metrics, testing techniques, case studies, and conclusions. Central to the volume are 12 technical papers framed by real-world examples and case studies that illustrate the necessity of the presented methods. While the technical chapters can be read independently, readers will gain more from the case studies if they are paired with the related techniques. Topics covered include modeling, benchmarking, testing, performance evaluation, and dependability, targeting academic and industrial researchers, as well as graduate students and lecturers in related fields. This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in a field of growing practical importance.
