Many applications demand availability. Unfortunately, software failures greatly reduce system availability. Previous approaches for surviving software failures suffer from several limitations, ...

As computers permeate all aspects of our lives, a wide range of computer systems must achieve high dependability, including availability, reliability, and security. Unfortunately, few current computer ...

Improper evaluation of systems papers may result in the loss or delay in publication of possibly important research. This paper posits that systems research papers may be evaluated in one or more of ...
