The book deals with some of the fundamental issues of risk assessment in grid computing environments.
The book describes the development of a hybrid probabilistic and possibilistic model for assessing the success of a computing task in a grid environment
From the reviews:
"The book contains a detailed theoretical presentation of these models and, in general, of some fundamental topics of risk theory within the framework of possibility theory. ? The book concludes with a list of important open problems which can definitely deserve the attention of a reader interested in working in the topic. ? its contents have a much wider field of applicability and will be definitely appreciated especially by readers who are looking for a compact ? presentation of possibilistic models for risk theory applications."
