4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book on Systems Design,
By Taliver Heath (New Jersey, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reliable Computer Systems: Design and Evaluation, Third Edition (Hardcover)
This book is a wonderful introduction into systems design and analysis. It is fairly technical, but it has a wealth of information on failure modeling and prediction. A very good reference book, as well as a nice introduction to a soon-to-be very hot topic.
