Bus Architectures for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Embedded systems for safety-critical applications often integrate multiple “functions” and must generally be fault-tolerant. These requirements lead to a need for mechanisms and services that provide protection against fault propagation and ease the construction of distributed fault-tolerant applications. A number of bus architectures have been developed to satisfy this need. This paper reviews the requirements on these architectures, the mechanisms employed, and the services provided. Four representative architectures (SAFEbus, SPIDER, TTA, and FlexRay) are briefly described.

High-Confidence Bus Architectures: The Backbone of Automotive Cyber-Physical Systems
Introduction and Scope Automotive cyber-physical systems (CPS) encompass nearly every research challenge offered by high-confidence computing. To scope this position paper, I will focus on open research questions in the design and assurance of fault-tolerant real-time automotive communication buses. An example of a fault-tolerant automotive bus in development today is FlexRay, and there are a v...
متن کاملA Comparison of Bus Architectures for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems
Avionics and control systems for aircraft use distributed, fault-tolerant computer systems to provide safety-critical functions such as flight and engine control. These systems are becoming modular, meaning that they are based on standardized architectures and components, and integrated, meaning that some of the components are shared by different functions—of possibly different criticality leve...

متن کاملPower-Aware Architecture Synthesis and Optimization for Mission-Critical Embedded Systems
A power-aware system architecture must provide all the necessary mechanisms to enable its application to manage power most effectively. Designers must explore system-level architectures without hardwiring high-level policies in low-level mechanisms. Unfortunately, without tool and methodology support, today’s designers are unable to explore enough design points to make an effective power-aware ...

Project summary This technical report is one of a series (listed in full below). Together these reports describe a complete hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation that reproduces the behaviour of a passenger car travelling down a motorway. In the simulation, the speed and position of the car are determined by an adaptive cruise control system implemented using one or more embedded microcontrolle...
