"Dependability" is a generalized concept of "Reliability" and "Availability"
by integrating fault tolerance and fault avoidance in
computer-based systems, and includes six attributes; Reliability,
Availability, Safety, Maintainability, Integrity, Confidentiality, for several kinds of faults
(physical faults, malicious and non-malicious design fault, malicious and non-malicious
interaction fault). The main purpose of "Dependable Computing"
is to prevent, tolerate, remove and forecast such faults to achieve high
dependability of computer systems. In this laboratory, we focus on
fault-tolerant systems, software reliability, software test, performance
evaluation of computer and communication systems.
