  Reliability, Availability, Serviceability
  
     <system, design, hardware, software> (RAS) Three key
     attributes of a computing system design.  See reliability,
     availability, and serviceability.
  
     The term "RAS" is fairly common in the computing industry
     (particularly computers and storage) as computing becomes more
     fundamental.  For example, a vehicle may depend on dozens of
     computers, and the consequences of the failure can be
     significant (e.g., an ambulance's engine won't start).
