Fault-tree based evaluation of tiered autonomic systems
Olivia Das, Arindam Das · Conference proceedings - Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering · 2008
The success of self configuration in autonomic distributed systems depends on the availability of the management components and their interconnections. This paper describes a fault tree model to evaluate the availability of a tiered autonomic system that considers the failures of management components. The model predictions will guide the selection and placement of the management components to meet the service-level availability requirements at substantially lower cost and time.
