Impact of correlated failures on software reliability Lohith Kantharaj Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523-1373, USA lohith.kantharaj@gmail.com Abstract--A number of software fault tolerance methods have been proposed to achieve high reliability. However, these methods suffer from the lack of considering the possibility of correlated failures, where the failure of multiple components leads to system failure. Furthermore, previous methods
The Challenges of Big Data and Extreme Workload: Big Data has gained massive importance in IT and Business today. A report recently published state that use of big data by a retailer could increase its operating margin by more than 60 percent and it also states that US health care sector could make more than $300 billion profit with the use of big data. There are many other sectors that could profit largely by proper analysis and usage of big data. Although big data promises better margin’s, more
[7] Implementing a fully integrated Customer Relationship Management offers significant benefits for enterprises, • Streamlining the business process – this improves effectiveness in an efficient manner • Increased customer satisfaction as the CRM primary focus is for building the relationship of an enterprise with its customer base • Focus of the organization implementing a CRM system would be consistent • Maximizing the opportunities through various modes of communication and marketing with customers
article highlights an approach to software architecture designed for safety-related systems. It talks about the importance of safety strategy in software architecture design. It addresses three issues to improve the architecture designs for safety-related systems. • Design Techniques: There have been a lot of advancements in software design techniques. There are many design techniques available but choosing the right for the system is absolute critical. Therefore this approach fails in demonstrating
Chapter 3 : CRM for Enterprises 3.1 Defining Enterprise’s Enterprise means a business or a company, they are classified by # of employees into small, medium and large enterprises. With evaluating the benefits of a CRM system, which works as an important tool for enterprises these days, for various reasons. Main objectives for any enterprise to implement a CRM system as to acquire new customers, increase sales and improve revenue, streamlining the process, retain customers from losing to competitors
VMware is bringing the power of cloud computing to the data center, delivering the best platform for building cloud infrastructures. Today’s data centers are faced with a major challenge of curbing IT spending. In current architecture, single server hardware is dedicated to a single server application which is becoming costly. The IT resources are stressed then resulting in under-utilized servers. This will exhaust IT budget long before they meet the demands of the business. Larger multi-processor servers
Virtualization and Software Defined Networking (SDN) The network infrastructure industry is evolving and following a path of first generation server hardware to application-specific servers to virtual machines. The second generation is migrating from function-specific network hardware to software-based virtual functions. Now, software defined networking (SDN) offers nearly infinite economies of scale by replacing expensive networking hardware with software. SDN moves network control out of hardware devices
3.4.1.2. Self -healing smart grid Self-healing is a specialty of smart grid who makes smart grid as smarter grid. This function shows the future scope of the smart grid and SCADA system. We can say that it is an immune system of SCADA system. It is main feature of smart grid but it is also has some disadvantages. First, one is uninterrupted power supply. This is real time monitoring function and it is programmed for timely detection means it takes data and transmit data at particular time span
À la carte Product Development. The concept of having re-usable software and hardware components which can be used for product developments have been in vogue for quite some time but in form of frameworks conforming to different standards which need good learning time from their users perspective. À la carte Product Development
plan methods, coding hypothesis, testing, approval, confirmation of accuracy, modeling, software reliability, operating systems, parallel processing, and real-time processing. The primary forum for presenting research in this field has been the yearly IEEE International Symposium on Fault-Tolerant Computing (FTCS) and the papers in its Digests give an essential reference source.
