High Availability Framework	Describes how to use the High Availability Manager (HAM) to monitor and restart critical processes in your system.
Instant Device Activation User's Guide	Describes how to use Instant Device Activation to start devices quickly when the system boots.
Persistent Publish/Subscribe Developer's Guide	Describes the QNX Persistent Publish/Subscribe service and its API.
Technotes	Deals with a series of topics, often platform-specific, that aren't covered in the basic docset.
