An immune system paradigm for the design of fault-tolerant systems. Presented at Workshop 3: Evaluating and Architecting Systems for Dependability (2008)

Algirdas Avizienis

An in-depth assessment of the implementation of fault tolerance in contemporary “off-the-shelf ” computing systems [1] leads us to conclude that hardware defenses are not adequately exploited for...

Software Diversity Metrics and Measurements (1992)

Michael R. Lyu, Jia-hong Chen, Algirdas Avizienis

In this paper, we define and formalize the concept of software diversity, which characterizes N-Version Software (NVS) from four different points of view that are designated as: structural diversity,...

Assuring Design Diversity in N-Version Software: A Design Paradigm for N-Version Programming (1992)

Michael R. Lyu, Algirdas Avizienis

The N -Version Programming (NVP) approach achieves fault-tolerant software units, called N - Version Software (NVS) units, through the development and use of software diversity. To maximize the...
