Structure for Dependability: Computer-Based Systems from an Interdisciplinary Perspective (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book gathers the latest research on the structure of computer-based systems from computer scientists, sociologists, statisticians and psychologists, and combines it into a readable overview of the latest work in dependable computer-based systems. Previous work in this area has tended to focus on computer systems to the exclusion of social and human aspects. This book highlights issues that stand aside of traditional technical concerns. Topics include fault tolerance, evolution, software development, HCI, architecture certification, dependability arguments, organization diagrams, time and procedures. The multidisciplinary approach highlights the core issues for everyone involved in dependability in a complex computer-based environment.
