Abstract

This paper proposes a methodology for dependability assessment of grids with fault tolerance features using communication fault injection. The methodology was built over an adaption of a performance analysis methodology. As a prove of concept, the methodology is applied to the grid computing platform OurGrid using the injector FIRMI. Results are shown about the dependability of the system.
