The software supportability and reliability site

Bibliography

This section includes documentation that cannot be downloaded from this site that might be of interest to the practitioner, but that we have not included here either because we do not have an electronic copy available, because some of the documents have to be purchased or because we have not (yet) received permission for inclusion onto this site. When such information is available on the Internet, we have however provided a link to the corresponding site. Note that we cite first those elements that have an on-line access, and then those for which we have a reference but for which we have no URL available. The order of the citations is irrelevant and does not necessarily indicate importance.
