Design diversity has long been known to protect redundant systems against common-mode failures. In this paper, for the first time, we present a metric to quantify diversity among several designs. Based on this metric, we derived... more
Fault-tolerant distributed systems based on field-buses may take advantage from reliable and atomic broadcast. There is a current belief that CAN native mechanisms provide atomic broadcast. In this paper, we dismiss this misconception,... more
Input-data and hardware fault-tolerance of neural networks are discussed. It is shown that fault-tolerance behavior is not self-evident but must be activated by an appropriate learning scheme. Practical limitations are demonstrated by an... more
It has been proposed to conduct a test of a software safety system for a nuclear reactor by subjecting it to demands that are statistically representative of those it will meet in operational use. The intention behind the test is to... more
Considering an application in which processes take local checkpoints independently (called basic checkpoints), this paper develops a protocol that forces them to take some additional local checkpoints (called forced checkpoints) in order... more
Mixed analog and digital mode simulators have been available for accurate transient fault simulation. However, they are not fast enough to simulate a large number of transient faults on a relatively large circuit in a reasonable amount of... more
