Chapter 11 Evaluation of Computing Reliability in Internet Computing

摘要

Internet computing is now a blooming technology which refers to multiple independent computing units working together over the Internet. The computing or calculating units are processor-memory pairs which distribute over one or more computers networked by information links over the Internet. It is important to maintain a highly efficient computing environment, namely, computing reliability. However, very few literature concerns this issue. This chapter proposes an evaluation method for the computing reliability in Internet computing. A numerical example is presented for exploring the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method is helpful in the evaluation of computing reliability for Internet computing applications.
