Joe Armstrong's PhD thesis 'Making reliable distributed systems in the presence of software errors' is good reading.

Definitely recommend. I recently bought a book on Amazon on distributed systems[0] which talked about fault tolerance without even a cursory mention of Joe Armstrong's work. I've returned the book, but I wish I could have browsed the bibliography before buying.
