ISBN: 3642846963
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 477
Book Description
Delta-4 is a 5-nation, 13-partner project that has been investigating the achievement of dependability in open distributed systems, including real-time systems. This book describes the design and validation of the distributed fault-tolerant architecture developed within this project. The key features of the Delta-4 architecture are: (a) a distributed object-oriented application support environment; (b) built-in support for user-transparent fault tolerance; (c) use of multicast or group communication protocols; and (d) use of standard off the-shelf processors and standard local area network technology with minimum specialized hardware. The book is organized as follows: The first 3 chapters give an overview of the architecture's objectives and of the architecture itself, and compare the proposed solutions with other approaches. Chapters 4 to 12 give a more detailed insight into the Delta-4 architectural concepts. Chapters 4 and 5 are devoted to providing a firm set of general concepts and terminology regarding dependable and real-time computing. Chapter 6 is centred on fault-tolerance techniques based on distribution. The description of the architecture itself commences with a description of the Delta-4 application support environment (Deltase) in chapter 7. Two variants of the architecture - the Delta-4 Open System Architecture (OSA) and the Delta-4 Extra Performance Architecture (XPA) - are described respectively in chapters 8 and 9. Both variants of the architecture have a common underlying basis for dependable multicasting, i. e.
Dependable Computing - EDCC-1
Author: Klaus EchtlePublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540584261
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 642
Book Description
This book presents the proceedings of the First European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC-1), held in Berlin, Germany, in October 1994. EDCC is the merger of two former European events on dependable computing. The volume comprises 34 refereed full papers selected from 106 submissions. The contributions address all current aspects of dependable computing and reflect the state of the art in dependable systems research and advanced applications; among the topics covered are hardware and software reliability, safety-critical and secure systems, fault-tolerance and detection, verification and validation, formal methods, hardware and software testing, and parallel and distributed systems.

Computer Security - ESORICS 92
Author: Yves DeswartePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540474889
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
This volume presents the proceedings of the second European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 92), held in Toulouse in November 1992. The aim of this symposium is to further the progress of research in computer security by bringing together researchers in this area, by promoting the exchange of ideas with system developers, and by encouraging links with researchers in areas related to computer science, informationtheory, and artificial intelligence. The volume contains 24 papers organizedinto sections on access control, formal methods, authentication, distributed systems, database security, system architectures, and applications. ESORICS 92 was organized by AFCET (Association francaise des sciences et technologies de l'information et des syst mes) in cooperation with a large number of national and international societies and institutes.
Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe '99
Author: Michael Gonzalez HarbourPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540487530
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
The Fourth International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies, Ada- Europe’99, took place in Santander, Spain, from June 7 to 11, 1999. It was sponsored by Ada Europe, the European federation of national Ada societies, in cooperation with ACM SIGAda and Ada Spain, and it was organized by members of the University of Cantabria and the Technical University of Madrid, in Spain. This was the 19th consecutive year of Ada Europe conferences, which have always been the main Ada events in Europe, with their counterparts being the ACM SIGAda conferences in the USA (formerly Tri Ada). The conference is not just devoted to the Ada language, but rather to the more general area of reliable software technologies. In this sense, there are papers on formal methods, testing, software architectures and design, software engineering tools, etc. We believe that the role of reliable software technologies is becoming increasingly important, as computer applications control more and more of our everyday systems. The goal of our conference is to contribute to advancing the state of the art of all the technologies that help us in achieving better and more reliable software at a lower overall cost.
Service-oriented Design of Environmental Information Systems
Author: Thomas UsländerPublisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3866444990
Category : Electronic computers. Computer science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Service-orientation has an increasing impact upon the design process and the architecture of environmental information systems. This thesis specifies the SERVUS design methodology for geospatial applications based upon standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium. SERVUS guides the system architect to rephrase use case requirements as a network of semantically-annotated requested resources and to iteratively match them with offered resources that mirror the capabilities of existing services.
Reliable Distributed Computing with the Isis Toolkit

Book Description
In distributed computing systems -- the software for networks -- a system may have a huge number of components resulting in a high level of complexity. That and issues such as fault-tolerance, security, system management, and exploitation of concurrency make the development of complex distributed systems a challenge.
