Abstract
We propose a two-level hierarchical method for dependability evaluation of distributed systems with replicated programs and data fries. Since Markov m odeling is limited only to each component in this method, state explosion c an be circumvented successfully. Simulation results show that the method ca n accomplish evaluation even for large systems for which Markov modeling is not feasible.
