Introduction
Recovery Oriented Computing (ROC) is a joint research effort between Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley. ROC takes the perspective that hardware faults, software bugs, and operator errors are facts to be coped with, not problems to be solved. This perspective is supported both by historical evidence and by recent studies on the main sources of outages in production systems. By concentrating on reducing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) rather than increasing Mean Time to Failure (MTTF), ROC reduces recovery time and thus offers higher availability. Here it has been described the principles(techniques) and philosophy behind the joint Stanford/Berkeley ROC effort and outline some of its research areas and current projects.
