Defining and Evaluating Resilience : A Performability Perspective

The notion of system “resilience” is receiving increased attention in domains ranging from safety-critical applications to ubiquitous computing. After reviewing how resilience has been defined in these contexts, we discuss roles that performability can play in both its definition and evaluation.
