A System Demonstration of ST-TCP
ST-TCP (Server fault-Tolerant TCP) is an extension of TCP to tolerate TCP server failures. Server fault tolerance is provided by using an active-backup server that keeps track of ...

Model-Based Failure Analysis of Journaling File Systems
We propose a novel method to measure the dependability of journaling file systems. In our approach, we build models of how journaling file systems must behave under different jo...

Coverage and the Use of Cyclic Redundancy Codes in Ultra-Dependable Systems
A Cyclic Redundancy Code (CRC), when used properly, can be an effective and relatively inexpensive method to detect data corruption across communication channels. However, some sy...

Design Time Reliability Analysis of Distributed Fault Tolerance Algorithms
Designing a distributed fault tolerance algorithm requires careful analysis of both fault models and diagnosis strategies. A system will fail if there are too many active faults, ...

Checking Array Bound Violation Using Segmentation Hardware
The ability to check memory references against their associated array/buffer bounds helps programmers to detect programming errors involving address overruns early on and thus avo...
