Course Instructor: Ion Bucur

The course aims at a systematic introduction to the rich and fertile field of computing and fault-tolerant tools and practices. Course (and practical applications) deals fundamentals, models, methodologies and assessment techniques but also for a fault-tolerant design tailored.

Syllabus:

• Introduction and preliminary information.
• Tolerant hardware and tools used for analysis of probabilistic reliability measures.
• Markov models.
• Informational redundancy.
• Networks and fault-tolerant distributed systems.
• Software techniques for fault tolerance.
• Temporal redundancy (checkpoints).
• Case studies.
• Applied fault-tolerant VLSI circuits.
