  • Abstract
    This paper addresses the problem of ascertaining the quantitative properties of dependable distributed/parallel systems. The approach is based on fault injection technology developed on the FIAT project. Experimental results are presented which indicate dependability properties (e.g. error detection coverage, error latency) based on a limited number of fault injections.<>
