"develops the principles of reliability and availability analysis for computer networks, culminating in a n introduction network design principles." (
SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002)
"a useful reference." (
IEEE Computer-Review, August 2002)
"The author has created a wonderful toolbox for systems engineers. So much is right here in one place, and organized effectively. I recommend this book to anyone working on networks or systems where reliability is a concern." (
IIE Transactions on Quality and Reliability Engineering)
"very good practical hintsrecommended for everyone who wants to learn either reliability fundamentals or know about the computer applications of reliability"(Comsoc.org, April 2003)
Customer Reviews & Comments
I was hoping to get more strategy for mitigating risk of system failure than was actually addressed. Overall, still useful, but is more targeted at networks than systems with embedded computers.
