The mixture of hardware and software discussions in the book is appealing. The authors describe the theory behind designing and modelling systems against failures in their components. There is a brief coverage of coding theory. This is a subject on which ample numbers of books have been dedicated.
Fault tolerance is an approach by which reliability of a computer system can be increased beyond what can be achieved by traditional methods. While hardware supported fault tolerance has been well-documented, the newer, software supported fault tolerance techniques have remained scattered throu
