The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
The importance of transient faults is predicted to grow due to current technology trends of increased scale of integration. One of the components that will be significantly affecte...
Designers of safety-critical VLSI systems are asking for effective tools for evaluating and validating their designs. Fault Injection is commonly adopted for this task, and its eff...
In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a lightweight fault tolerance framework for Web services. With our framework, a Web service can be rendered fault tolera...
