Software developers face escalating expectations of software customers today. It isn't enough to develop an Internet-based teleconferencing system: the customer wants a "carrier-grade" teleconferencing system. A simple e-commerce system isn't good enough: e-commerce applications must be secure, robust, and highly reliable.
This workshop will be a forum for sharing techniques for designing robust and reliable software. Some techniques will apply to new systems with stringent reliability requirements: "extreme reliability", "five-nines" or "carrier-grade reliability". Other techniques may be useful for improving the reliability of an existing system: adapting the an reliable piece of software to make it more predictable in a hostile environment. Participants in the workshop will present and discuss tools and techniques, and experiences from the real world.
