Fault tolerance in distributed systems
Jalote P., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1994. Type: Book (9780133013672)
The author’s stated goal in this text is to “organize the body of knowledge in software fault tolerance.” He proposes a layered architecture with broadcast protocols at the lower levels, atomic actions abo...

Structural Testing of Concurrent Programs
Taylor R., Levine D., Kelly C. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 18(3): 206-215, 1992. Type: Article
The title indicates that this paper provides test set generation for concurrent programs. The work is much more basic than this, however, and focuses on the problem of structural determination for test set generation. In this framework...

Orca: A Language for Parallel Programming of Distributed Systems
Bal H., Kaashoek M., Tanenbaum A. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 18(3): 190-205, 1992. Type: Article
The Orca language is an attempt to assist in the execution of coarse-grained parallel applications on distributed computing systems. The overhead of the runtime system and of the message passing of the network both significantly infl...

Resourceful systems for fault tolerance, reliability, and safety
Abbott R. ACM Computing Surveys 22(1): 35-68, 1990. Type: Article
Abbott surveys various classical software techniques for ensuring system fault tolerance. He also presents the less widely known concept of “resourceful systems,” which adapt to changes in environment and preserve t...

Computing for engineers: a problem-solving approach to programming in Pascal
Grant C., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1989. Type: Book (9789780131625532)
The main problem of teaching proper computing practices to engineers is largely one of time, since the material is essentially taught in a single course. The standard approach is to teach a language with some trivial examples and then ...

Load sharing in distributed systems with failures
Tripathi S., Finkel D., Gelenbe E. Acta Informatica 25(6): 677-689, 1988. Type: Article
This paper presents a straightforward analysis of the trade-off between testing for failed resources in a distributed computing system and migration “in the dark,” that is, attempting to migrate a process to a proce...

Introduction to computer science: an algorithmic approach (2nd ed.)
Tremblay J., Bunt R., McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, NY, 1989. Type: Book (9789780070651685)
One does not expect an easy-to-read layout in a rigorous text, and at first glance this book might seem more appropriate for a two-year technical program than a university curriculum. Make no mistake, this is a university-level text. I...

Reliable communications
Morganti M., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 1986. Type: Book (9789780471845188)
The study of reliable communications is important not only in the traditional areas of computer networking, but also with the new distributed-memory multiprocessors or multicomputers. These multicomputer systems, as they increase in si...

System diagnosis
Kime C., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1986. Type: Book (9789780133082227)
The diagnosis aspect of fault tolerance is a particularly timely topic because of the increasing complexity and distributed nature of systems. This chapter covers the following topics: combinational logic fault testing, syndrome testin...
