METHODS MODELS AND TOOLS FOR FAULT TOLERANCE KA...

The growing complexity of modern software systems increases the di?culty of ensuring the
overall dependability of software-intensive systems. Complexity of environments  in which
systems operate  high dependability requirements that systems have to meet  as well as the
complexity of infrastructures on which they rely make system design a true engineering
challenge. Mastering system complexity requires design techniques that support clear thinking
and rigorous validation and veri?cation. Formal design methods help to achieve this. Coping
with complexity also requires architectures that are t- erant of faults and of unpredictable
changes in environment. This issue can be addressed by fault-tolerant design techniques.
Therefore  there is a clear need of methods enabling rigorous modelling and development of
complex fault-tolerant systems. This bookaddressessuchacuteissues
