Presentation: "Failure Happens: Deal With It"

Wednesday 14:15 - 15:00 Private Room

To make software robust, programmers must deal with the potential for failure. When a failure happens that the program doesn't deal with itself, a human, either in the form of a system administrator or a user, has to deal with the failure. This talk will explore the need to deal with failure, and various approaches to do so.
