Finally the issue is available on Amazon and through other sellers:

I’m now planning the September issue and post details later.

The second issue of the magazine was put into production today and should be available after one or two weeks on Amazon, B&N and other booksellers worldwide.
Title: Debugged! MZ/PE: Modeling Software Defects
Authors: Konstantin Chebotarev, Kapildev Ramlal, Dmitry Vostokov
ISBN: 1906717680
ISBN-13: 978-1906717681
Annotation: Welcome to the second issue of Debugged! MZ/PE magazine! It brings fault injection into new light and features articles discussing software defect construction via DLL injection, modeling CPU spikes and runaway exception processing. This issue also includes a memory dump analysis certification voucher. Back cover features WinDbg breakpoint and tracing command summary for easy desk reference. - Dmitry Vostokov - Editor-in-Chief

This is the main topic of the forthcoming next issue of Debugged MZ/PE magazine. The most close term is called “fault injection” but I rediscovered it as a “software defect construction”, “software defect simulation” or “software defect modeling”. The latter term is also used to refer to construction of mathematical models related to software product quality and corresponding statistics but “modeling software defects” seems appropriate subtitle for the magazine front cover picture… Software defect construction is more general term than fault injection. The latter is used for testing but we want to simulate bugs and abnormal system conditions to study debugging and memory dump analysis techniques or to build reproduction environments. I actually recently found and bought the used copy of this book:
Software Fault Injection: Inoculating Programs Against Errors
and plan to write my own book with the following working title later:
Software Defect Construction: Simulation and Modeling of Software Bugs (ISBN: 978-1906717759)

I aim to make Debugged! MZ/PE a quarterly publication and the next issue is to be by the end of June. Its main topic is modeling software bugs:
Debugged! MZ/PE: Modeling Software Defects, June, 2009 (ISBN: 978-1906717681)

The deadline is June 15.
Here is the draft front cover:
The back cover remains secret until release and will feature tips on debugging.

Finally it has been published and available for orders from Amazon and other bookstores:
http://www.dumpanalysis.org/Debugged+Magazine
I had to increase the number of pages for the first issue from 16, planned originally, to 28 and this is reflected in the retail price of $10 (originally planned $8) but bookstores should sell it with a discount between 0% and 55%.
More information about the next issue should be ready by the end of the next week.

Yesterday I submitted the magazine to print and distribution world-wide. If everything is right it should be available by the end of this month. This first issue features 12 page WinDbg command supplement to pattern-driven memory dump analysis methodology, an overview of Win32dd complete memory dumper and PowerDbg enhancements to debug ASP.NET code. The magazine will only be available in print.
- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org -
The first issue of Debugged! MZ/PE magazine is going to be printed on debugged paper (not to confused with common bugs-free paper used in publishing houses and printing factories). Once you open the first issue you would instantly recognize that!

New word - new nickname…
Mr. Heapocrat is a member of a powerful group called heap class and a pseudonym for a historian and journalist that Debugged! MZ/PE magazine editorial board has invited to write a history and current affairs column called “Heap Inquiries”.
- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org -
Debugged! MZ/PE magazine editorial board has secured a columnist Don T. Quit to write a column “Tips, Bits and Fields”. Don is very eager to offer a (socio- | psycho- | ε) logical advice to debugging community.
Just to remind that a deadline to submit articles for the first issue is set to 15th of February.

As one of the new initiatives for the Year of Debugging DumpAnalysis Portal will publish bimonthly full color 16 page publication called:
Debugged! MZ/PE: MagaZine for/from Practicing Engineers
The only serial publication dedicated entirely to Windows® debugging
The first issue is planned for March, 2009 and will have ISBN-13: 978-1-906717-38-4. If it goes well I’m planning to have ISSN number assigned to it too. More details will be announced soon.
