Software Reliability

Catalog description

Topics to be covered: software reliability growth models, software failure data analytics, classical software fault tolerance techniques based on design diversity, novel software fault tolerance techniques based on environmental diversity, classification of software faults, software aging and rejuvenation, and software safety, security and survivability. Statistical methods used in this context, methods of predicting software availability during operation, prediction of time to failure and optimal times to rejuvenate will be discussed. Practical application of these ideas will also be presented via case studies of SDN open source software ONOS and ODL, NASA Satellite on-board software, Apache Webserver and Android operating system. 001573
