WTF2002 - 3rd TESTS AND FAULT TOLERANCE WORKSHOP

Proceedings

The 1st and 2nd Tests and Fault Tolerance Workshops were held respectively in 1998 and 2000, in Porto Alegre and Curitiba. The main objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers and professionals every two years. In the last WTF, in Curitiba, it was decided that the workshop would be held in conjunction with other Brazilian national events that had some subjects in common with the workshop. For 2002, it has been decided that the WTF will be held in conjunction with the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks (in Búzios-RJ), since it gathers researchers who work on both areas.

The WTF is a one-day workshop where researchers will have the opportunity to present their current research activities and discuss the future of tests and fault tolerance.
