Reviews
From the reviews: Wolter's textbook presents ... three issues that will interest specialists in distributed systems and software design: restarting, rejuvenation, and checkpointing. ... The book's strength is its ability to systematically gather different models that are rarely presented together in one place. It is also admirable how clearly ... the difficult material on reliability is presented. The work is intended for experienced readers ... . The content is up to date; in fact, many of the analyses are quite new and based on Wolter's own work. (Piotr Cholda, ACM Computing Reviews, November, 2010) It is comprehensive and self-contained as it includes everything one needs to understand and apply the models and algorithms represented. Even the probability distributions used in those models are briefly, yet satisfactorily, explained in the appendices. All in all, I can recommend this book as a handbook not only to researchers and practitioners who work in this field, but also to students as a textbook.

Author Information
Katinka Wolter is an assistant professor at Humboldt-University, Berlin, Germany, working with the on Computer Architecture and Communication Group since April 2002. She is principal investigator of two research projects funded by the German research council and teaches courses on performance analysis of communication systems and dependability evaluation. Prior to her current position, she was a visiting researcher at Hewlett-Packard Labs in Palo Alto, CA, USA. Her research interests include dependability evaluation of service-oriented architectures and wireless computer networks, as well as stochastic models for representing data in those systems and stochastic models for improving dependability through restart-based techniques.
