Abstract

Survivability is a concept that describes the capability of a system to achieve timely recovery after the occurrence of undesired events. It is more general and detailed than many terms, such as RTO and RPO, that have a similar goal. Survivability is capable of capturing complex system recovery behaviors and tracking a large variety of system performance measures, and it also permits relatively simple quantification procedure as described in this paper.
