Overview

This book addresses the question of how system software should be designed to account for faults, and which fault tolerance features should provide for highest reliability. With this third edition of Software Design for Resilient Computer Systems, the book is thoroughly updated to contain the newest advice regarding software resilience. With a new introductory chapter, the new edition is ideal for researchers and industry professionals.

In the book, the authors first show how system software interacts with the hardware to tolerate faults. They analyze and further develop the theory of fault tolerance to understand the diverse ways to increase the reliability of a system, with special attention on the role of system software in this process. They introduce the theory of redundancy and its use for construction of a subsystem through generalised algorithm of fault tolerance (GAFT) and apply it to distributed systems. The book’s approach is applied to various hardware subsystems: different structures of RAM and processor cores and demonstrates exceptional performance reliability and energy efficiency. This third edition devotes substantial attention to system software for modern computers, including run time systems, supporting algorithms of recovery and their analysis, language aspects and ways to improve reconfigurable and parallel computing.

Due to the wide-reaching nature of the content, this book applies to a host of industries and research areas, including military, aviation, intensive health care, industrial control, and space exploration.

About the Author

Dr. Igor Schagaev is a Professor and Director of IT-ACS Ltd (UK). He is a Fellow of the Institute of Analyst and Programmers (UK), Fellow of British Computer Society (UK). His career has started as an Electromechanical Engineer at the Smolensk aviation factory, USSR, a Senior Programmer and Design Engineer at the Institute of Advanced Computations, Central Bureau, Smolensk Branch, and a Senior Design Engineer and System Programmer for Avionics. Completed PhD in Russian Academy of Science (Institute of Control Science) and involvement in projects of hardware and software for submarines, satellites and aircrafts enables Igor to absorb an experience which he share with Boeing in 98-99. In 1994 Igor has established ATLAB Ltd Bristol now transformed into IT-ACS Ltd. He has published 7 books in three languages, over 60 papers, since 2006 holds international patent on New Active System Control and supportive mathematical models. ProfessorSchagaev has been honoured with several industry awards, achievements, and grants.

Prof Eugene Zouev is currently a professor in Innopolis University, Russia. Eugene has graduated and defended his PhD in Moscow State University (1976 and 1999, respectively). He was involved in many research and industrial projects in system software, programming languages and their compilers.

Among his achievements were full ISO-compliant C++ compiler (2000, Moscow, Russia), Zonnon language compiler for .NET (ETH Zurich 2000-2006) with and under supervision of Prof Niklaus Wirth (Turing Award) and Prof J. Gutknecht, and many other projects. His involvement in EU funded project (ONBASS 2004-09) became a next step in research and development summarised to some extent in this book.

Dr. Thomas Kaegi-Trachsel received his PhD in 2012 in ETH Zurich in the area of system software for embedded systems (under supervision of Prof. Schagaev). He is currently a Senior Researcher atErgon Informatics, Switzerland.
