Dependability of Networked Computer-based Systems
The measurement of dependability attributes on real systems is a very time-consuming and costly affair, making analytical or simulation modeling the only viable solutions. Dependability of Networked Computer-based Systems explores reliability, availabilit

Foreword
A compelling requirement in today’s context of the prevalent use of complex processes and systems in process and service industries, military applications, aerospace automotive and transportation, logistic, and other, is to maintain high dependability and security. The first casualty of integrated real time complex systems is dependability owing to an combinatorial like explosion of possible states, some with unacceptable probability levels and many unsafe states as well. The theoretical foundation f
