Dependability has always been an vital attribute of operational systems, regardless of whether they are highly-specialized (like electricity generating plants) or more general-purpose (like domestic appliances). This volume provides an overview of the topic, concentrating on dependability as a life-cycle management issue rather than as a technical subject. Specifically avoiding technical language and complex mathematics, it is designed to be accessible to readers at all levels.
