Biologically Inspired Fault-tolerant Architectures for Real-time Control Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Real-time control applications involve the interaction of multiple components. As systems become more complex their reliability tends to decrease, hence, fault tolerance must be incorporated to keep reliability within specified levels. A novel reconfiguration mechanism inspired by mechanisms that take place during the embryonic development of living beings is proposed in this paper. It is illustrated using an example that the rapid low-level fault-recovery characteristic of the embryonic system makes it a promising approach for real-time control applications.

متن کاملReliability and Performance Evaluation of Fault-aware Routing Methods for Network-on-Chip Architectures (RESEARCH NOTE)
Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...
متن کاملFault Tolerant Bio - Inspired System Controlled Modular Switched Reluctance
Fault tolerance is an obligatory feature in safety critical applications (aeronautical, aerospace, medical and military applications, power plants, etc.), where loss of life, environmental disasters, equipment destructions or unplanned downtimes must be avoided. For such applications, a novel bio-inspired motion control system is proposed. All its three components (the switched reluctance machi...
متن کاملBiologically Inspired Reconfigurable Hardware for Dependable Applications
Practical experience has demonstrated that the goal of building fault-free systems, although attractive, is impossible to achieve. Hardware deteriorates with time, and software has become so complex that design faults are difficult, if not impossible, to avoid. Hence, the more viable alternative for applications requiring high levels of dependability is to implement systems capable of toleratin...

The Time-Triggered Protocol integrates such services as predictable message transmission, clock synchronization, membership, mode change, and blackout handling. It also supports replicated nodes and replicated communication channels. eal-time control systems must share critical information among autonomous subsystems in a timely and reliable manner. For example, automotive applications have sep...
