Abstract

A mathematical model of a transaction-oriented system under intermittent failures is proposed. The system is assumed to operate with a checkpointing and rollback/recovery method to ensure reliable information processing. The model is used to derive the principal performance measures, including availability, response time, and the system saturation point.
