Software Fault Tolerance

The complete text of “Software Fault Tolerance”, written by Michael R. Lyu, is available in pdf format. The book is intended for practitioners and researchers who are concerned with the dependability of software systems.

Book Description

The topics explored in this book are the techniques and experiences regarding fault tolerance in software systems and the prevention of overall system failures.
Software fault tolerance techniques involve error detection, exception handling, monitoring mechanisms and error recovery. This important book also focuses on identification, application, formulation and evaluation of current software tolerance techniques.
