Functional Based Reliability Analysis of Web Based Information Systems

The chapter presents a method of Web-based information system dependability analysis based on functional and reliability approach. A service availability is predicted by developed by authors a two level simulator (using Monte-Carlo based estimation). Taxonomy of the faults is described. Numerical experiments were performed on a test case scenario that was modeled as a network of interacting tasks and technical infrastructure required for the service realization.
