Abstract. Predicting the performance of component-based applications is difficult due to the complexity of the underlying component technology. This problem is exacerbated when a m...
Despite great efforts on the design of ultra-reliable components, the increase of system size and complexity has outpaced the improvement of component reliability. As a result, fa...
