CS444a : Principles of Dependable Computer Systems

I started to read all articles found in this Stanford course syllabus: CS444a : Principles of Dependable Computer Systems

The basics of dependability:

Dependability=RASS (Reliable, Available, Safe and Secure)
MTTF+MTTR=MTBF. avail. = MTTF/(MTTF+MTTR)
Dependability metrics considered in SLA (Service Level Agreement)
Heisenbug, Borhbug, Schrodinbug, Mandelbug
Failure categories: Permanent/intermitent/transient failure
Fail system behavior: fail-stop, byzantine, fail-fast
Dealing with faults: detection, diagnosis, isolation, repair, recovery

I need a way to remember: ACID: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability
