This document discusses key aspects of dependability engineering including: achieving dependability through fault avoidance, detection, and tolerance; using redundancy and diversity; the importance of well-defined, repeatable processes; and guidelines for dependable programming such as checking inputs, handling exceptions, avoiding error-prone constructs, and including timeouts. Critical systems often have high dependability requirements and their development must convince regulators that the system is dependable, safe, and secure.
This document discusses dependable systems architectures, including protection systems, self-monitoring architectures, and N-version programming. It notes that dependable architectures use redundancy and diversity to ensure fault tolerance. Key challenges include achieving true software and design diversity, as teams may interpret specifications similarly and diverse versions could still contain common errors.
To meet today's complex and ever-changing business demands, you need a
solid foundation of server, storage, networking and software resources that
is simple to deploy and can quickly and automatically adapt to changing
conditions. You also need access to—and the ability to take advantage
of—broad expertise and proven best practices in systems management,
applications, hardware maintenance and more.
This document discusses key concerns and methods for designing high-reliability FPGA-based systems. It covers ensuring accurate design specifications, implementing built-in safety features like triple modular redundancy and safe finite state machines, evaluating and debugging designs at the register-transfer level using FPGA prototypes, and following reproducible, documented design processes. The goal is to address safety-critical applications' needs for mitigating radiation effects, requirements tracing, power reduction, and verification.
Virtualization is all the rage today. But not all platforms are created equal when it comes to security, resilience and capacity management of the workloads being virtualized. On a mainframe, the same workloads that run on distributed can have a completely different operations model that can reduce cost and provide investment protection for the future.

Automotive embedded systems now include numerous software-intensive functions that are critical from a safety point of view (e.g., braking, assisted driving, etc). These functions are distributed on the Electronic Control Units and they need to exchange large amount of data with real-time constraints. In this context, the communication system plays a major role and it has to respect stringent dependability constraints. Security, especially with the widespread of wireless networks, is now becoming a serious matter of concern too. In this talk, we will review the main threats to dependability and security in automotive communication systems, the existing technical solutions to attain them, and, highlight areas where developments might be needed.

ID114 - Wrestling the Snake: Performance Tuning 101Wes Morgan
This document provides an overview of performance tuning for software systems. It discusses setting reasonable performance goals, understanding your system environment and usage patterns, identifying common performance issues, and taking a cyclical approach to ongoing monitoring and optimization. The key points are: set achievable performance goals based on peak demand, understand dependencies, data flows, and where load lies; monitor baseline performance and "red flags" like disk I/O, memory, and CPU usage; revisit performance regularly and after changes; and consider virtual environments, add-ons, OS patches, and hardware drivers.
Fragmentation slows system performance by splitting files across hard drives. Diskeeper software eliminates fragmentation through its IntelliWrite technology, improving system speed by 20% and reducing boot and backup times.

Innovate 2014: Get an A+ on Testing Your Enterprise Applications with Rationa...Teodoro Cipresso
Today's exam: what's the difference between continuous testing of distributed apps and enterprise apps? If you're on the distributed side, you typically maintain suites of self-checking unit tests. Successful execution of these test suites gives you confidence in your code as you make fixes and deliver enhancements. If you're on the enterprise side (okay: mainframe), you have to factor in CPU time and try to minimize that. Minimize and continuous, however, are near contradictions. The IBM Rational Development and Test Environment for System z can change that. It provides an emulated z/OS environment on Intel or Intel compatible hardware, making continuous test of enterprise apps easy and affordable.

Systemz Security Overview (for non-Mainframe folks)Mike Smith
The document provides an overview of mainframe security for non-mainframe personnel. It discusses IBM System z and how it fulfills its security strategy through three main approaches: 1) enhancing its own host protection through continuous advancements in security capabilities, 2) protecting host interfaces and boundaries to secure identities and data passing across borders, and 3) extending its high quality of service in security into the enterprise through technologies like encryption and identity management. The document highlights several core security features of System z including resource profiles, user profiles, RACF, and how z/OS TCP/IP provides security through features like SAF protection, intrusion detection services, IP filtering, and IPSec.
Build Smarter User Interfaces for Legacy Applications with IBM Rational Host ...Strongback Consulting
lder interface systems such as those using COBOL on IBM AIX, or RPG on IBM i are expensive to replace and often difficult to integrate. See how to quickly leverage these systems in an environment without rewriting or having access to the original source code. Using IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services (HATS), create REST-based or SOAP-based Web services to call from other systems. Presenters demonstrate a customer solution that was originally written in COBOL on AIX that now uses HATS Web services. Presenters show how using the new Dojo features in HATS, teams can rapidly build a new interface without rip and replace of the old system. HATS and Dojo help dramatically reduce data entry errors, improve customer call times, and make it easier to train personnel to use the applications. The session includes demos.

This reference architecture document describes deploying the VMware vCloud Enterprise Suite on the IBM PureFlex System hardware platform. Key points:
- The vCloud Suite software provides components for managing and delivering cloud services, while the IBM PureFlex System provides an integrated hardware platform in a single chassis.
- The reference architecture focuses on installing the vCloud Suite management components as virtual machines on an ESXi host to manage consumer resources.
- The IBM PureFlex System provides servers, networking, and storage in a single chassis that can then be easily scaled out. This standardized deployment accelerates provisioning of cloud infrastructure.
- Deployment considerations cover systems management using IBM Flex System Manager, server, networking, storage configurations
