A Fault Tolerance Extension to the Embedded CORBA for the CAN Bus Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a fault tolerant extension to our CANCORBA design. The CAN-CORBA is an environment speci c CORBA we designed for distributed embedded control systems built on the CAN bus. We extend it for fault tolerance by adopting passive and active replication strategies mandated by the OMG fault tolerant CORBA draft standard. To reduce resource demands of these fault tolerance features, we propose a state-less passive replication policy and show that it is su cient for embedded real-time control applications. We give an example CORBA program with its IDL de nition to demonstrate the utility of our fault tolerant CAN-CORBA. The newly extended CAN-CORBA clearly reveals that it is feasible to use fault tolerant CORBA in developing distributed embedded systems on real-time networks with severe resource limitations.

Building of a Fault-Tolerant CORBA Infrastructure within the Context of Embedded ORB and the CAN Bus
An increasing number of applications are being developed using distributed object computing middleware, such as CORBA. Many of these applications require the underlying middleware, operating systems, and networks to provide end-to-end quality of service (QoS) support to enhance their efficiency, predictability, scalability, and fault tolerance. The Object Management Group (OMG), which standardi...

متن کاملTowards Middleware for Fault-Tolerance in Distributed Real-Time and Embedded Systems
Distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems often require support for multiple simultaneous quality of service (QoS) properties, such as real-timeliness and fault tolerance, that operate within resource constrained environments. These resource constraints motivate the need for a lightweight middleware infrastructure, while the need for simultaneous QoS properties require the middleware to ...
متن کاملMEAD: support for Real-Time Fault-Tolerant CORBA
The OMG’s Real-Time CORBA (RT-CORBA) and Fault-Tolerant CORBA (FT-CORBA) specifications make it possible for today’s CORBA implementations to exhibit either real-time or fault tolerance in isolation. While real-time requires a priori knowledge of the system’s temporal operation, fault tolerance necessarily deals with faults that occur unexpectedly, and with possibly unpredictable fault recovery...

We present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. In this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. Code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. The Algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...
