Dependability and Computer Engineering: Concepts for Software-Intensive Systems

Luigia Petre, Kaisa Sere, Elena Troubitsyna (Eds.), Dependability and Computer Engineering: Concepts for Software-Intensive Systems, IGI Global, 2011.

Abstract:

Rapid development of digital technologies has led to the widespread use of software in all aspects of our life. The degree of reliance that can be justifiably placed on software-intensive systems is expressed by the notion of dependability. The complexity of modern software-intensive systems poses the greatest threat to dependability. Furthermore, software–the most complex system component–is recognized to be the most error-prone part of the system.

This book offers a state-of-the-art overview of the dependability research, from engineering various software-intensive systems to validating existing IT-frameworks and solving generic and particular problems related to the dependable use of IT in our society. It is important to understand how dependability is manifested in software-intensive systems, how it is developed, and how it can be enhanced at various levels in systems and organizations. This book uncovers the existing research on the topic as well as the key challenges associated with the engineering of dependable IT systems in the future.
