Visible to the public Embedded Fault Detection for Low-Cost, Safety-Critical Systems

Abstract:

Fault tolerance is vital to ensuring the integrity and availability of safety critical systems. Current solutions are based almost exclusively on physical redundancy at all levels of the design. The use of physical redundancy, however, dramatically increases system size, complexity, weight, and power consumption.

This research addresses the basic challenge of bringing high levels of reliability and integrity to other domains-domains that can afford neither the cost nor the extra power, weight, and size associated with physical redundancy. The main research focus is on the development of algorithms and computing architectures which enable the detection of fauls without relying on physical redundancy.
