BOOK DESCRIPTION:

The Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation established these workshops to determine the state of the art and to set the course for future research in three scientific communities: computer security, fault tolerance, and software assurance. Although these areas may differ in their emphasis, this workshop established a unifying theme to help coordinate research efforts. This book includes a proposed research agenda, which provides a brief distillation of notes from the workshop, as well as 14 articles covering topics such as error recovery in critical infrastructure systems, practical techniques for damage confinement in software, and diversity against accidental and deliberate faults.
