Ballista : Software Robustness Testing
The Ballista automated robustness testing approach probes software to see how effective it is at exception handling. Ballista testing enables users to test the robustness of home-grown and third party software on their own computers.

PASIS : Engineering Survivable Storage
The PASIS project is building survivable storage systems and devloping an engineering understanding of the associated trade-offs between performance, availability, and security.

nDIM
The mission of the nDIM group is to provide software to support the information needs of geographically and temporally dispersed teams of individuals engaged in multi-person, multi-place, multi-period, interdisciplinary tasks like, but not limited to, engineering design.

CDNA : Context Dependant Network Agents
Carnegie Mellon University is leading a consortium of five universities to develop a new type of agent, the context dependant agent, whose deployment will improve the agility and robustness of large, dynamic networks that face new and unanticipated operating conditions.

Embedded Networks
In the Embedded Networks project, smaller scale computer networks based on the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol and other embedded media access methods are being studied for both performance and dependability.

Amaranth : Quality of Service
In the Amaranth project, researchers are exploring ways to provide Quality of Service with networked computer systems that are sized for average demand instead of peak demand.
