This extensively revised and expanded second edition updates the authors' influential 1982 work to reflect the rapid evolution of hardware and software reliability design. The book provides a comprehensive guide to the design, evaluation, and practical use of reliable computer systems, combining theoretical foundations with real-world implementation. It includes detailed case studies of commercial systems developed by manufacturers such as Tandem, Stratus, IBM, and Digital, as well as coverage of specialized systems including the Galileo Orbiter fault protection system and AT&T telephone switching processors. Coverage includes fault-avoidance, fault-detection, and redundancy techniques; in-depth analytical comparisons of reliability approaches; current software reliability methods; and detailed descriptions of hardware features. Numerous examples illustrate testing methods and evaluation criteria, supported by an expanded review of published studies in key topic areas and more than 480 technical diagrams and photographs.…
