Abstract

We present an overview of the major problems inherent in reliability modeling of fault-tolerant systems. The problems faced while modeling such systems include the need to consider a very large state space, non-exponential distributions, error analysis, the need to perform a combined evaluation of performance and reliability, and the need to include the details of fault/error handling behavior. Some of the proposed solutions are discussed and current tools (HARP, SAVE, DEEP and SHARPE) to facilitate evaluation of such systems are described. References are provided to many of the important techniques utilized in reliability, availability, and performance modeling of such systems.
