A justifiably trustworthy provisioning of cloud services can only be ensured if reliability, availability, and other dependability attributes are assessed accordingly.We present a structured approach for deriving fault injection campaigns from a failure space model of the system. Fault injection experiments are selected based on criteria of coverage, efficiency and maximality of the faultload. The...
The fault tolerance of complex software systems can be assessed experimentally using fault injection. To become an effective and systematic testing strategy, fault injection requires a realistic and well-defined failure cause model. However, such failure cause models are frequently incomplete, informal, and implicit or application-dependent. In this paper, we present a formal error model tailored...
The domains of parallel and distributed computing have been converging continuously up to the degree that state-of-the-art server computer systems incorporate characteristics from both domains: They comprise a hierarchy of enclosures, where each enclosure houses multiple processor sockets and each socket again contains multiple memory controllers. A global address space and cache coherency are facilitated...
Dependability modeling and analysis relies on the usage of an unambiguous terminology model, in order to avoid misunderstandings and wrong interpretations. In both academia and industry, the most widely accepted approach is the fault-error-failure model, originally created by Avižienis and Laprie. Using this model for describing software faults and errors can help to establish a common vocabulary,...
