Service Availability

Finally, we strongly believe that this year s conference continued the tra- tions of having a high scienti?c and technical quality as well as an extensive dialogue on key issues of service availability. May 2008 Fumihiro Maruyama Andras Pataricza Organization ISAS 2008 was sponsored by the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), University of Tokyo and Service Availability Forum, in cooperation with IEICE TC on Dependable Computing and GI TC on Depe- ability and Fault Tolerance.
