Abstract
Addresses the problem of evaluating system sensitivity to hardware faults. For this purpose the authors use a software implemented fault injector with extended statistical capabilities (FITS). The main contribution of the paper is the formulation of basic factors influencing system dependability and checking them in experiments. These experiments have been performed on an IBM PC platform
