Resilient Computer System Design

This book presents a paradigm for designing new generation resilient and evolving computer systems, including their key concepts, elements of supportive theory, methods of analysis and synthesis of ICT with new properties of evolving functioning, as well as implementation schemes and their prototyping. The book explains why new ICT applications require a complete redesign of computer systems to address challenges of extreme reliability, high performance, and power efficiency. The authors present a comprehensive treatment for designing the next generation of computers, especially addressing safety critical, autonomous, real time, military, banking, and wearable health care systems.

Describes design solutions for new computer systems and prototypes for evolving reconfigurable architecture (ERA) that is free from drawbacks inherent in current reliability engineering models Presents a prototype for new computer systems with supportive hardware, simplicity, reliability, scalability and energy-wise operation achieved by using redundancy and re-configurability as a part of resilient and evolving architecture Provides development processes for next generation systems using various redundancy types for implementation of required system properties through design stages
