UBIQUITY ALERT: A NEW INTERVIEW WITH PETER
DENNING ON THE GREAT PRINCIPLES OF COMPUTING.
Associate Editor Gutam Kuman Saha describes
the general outline of a scheme for tolerating
various operational faults during processing or
during execution of an application through error
detection and tolerating memory and register bit
errors. He says, "An application system can be
made a robust one with this software approach by
establishing transient fault tolerance at a very
low cost. We do not intend to tolerate software
design bugs here. Rather we aim to tolerate any
kind of fault that might appear due to
environmental changes during the program execution time."
