Abstract
This book represents a snapshot of the field as of January 2009. Fault-tolerant computer architecture is a vibrant field that has been reinvigorated in the past 10 years or so by forecasts of increasing fault rates, and we expect this field to evolve quite a bit in the upcoming years as the current reliability challenges become more acute and new challenges arise. The general concepts described in this book will not become obsolete, but we expect (and hope!) that many new ideas and implementations will be developed to address current and emerging challenges. In the four main chapters of this book, we have identified some of the open problems to be solved, and we anticipate that those problems, as well as problems that have not even arisen yet, will be tackled.
