A Fault-Tolerant Software Architecture for Component-Based Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Component-based software built from reusable software components is being used in a wide range of applications that have high dependability requirements. In order to achieve the required levels of dependability, it is necessary to incorporate into these complex systems means for coping with software faults. However, the problem is exacerbated if we consider the current trend of integrating off-the-shelf software components, from independent sources, which allow neither code inspection nor changes. To leverage the dependability properties of these systems, we need solutions at the architectural level that are able to guide the structuring of unrehable components into a faulttolerant architecture. In this paper, we present an approach for structuring faulttolerant component-based systems based on the C2 architectural style.

Incorporating Fault Tolerance into Component-based Architectures for Embedded Systems
A component-based software architecture is presented to support the process of designing and developing fault-tolerant computerised control systems. To this end, we combine an idealised fault-tolerant component, the C2 architecture style and protective wrappers, and embed fault tolerance techniques into component definitions. The resulting architecture is described by normaland abnormal-activit...

متن کاملA Service-Based Decentralized Architecture for ECU Fault Tolerant Control
The purpose of this master thesis is to contribute a service-based decentralized architecture for Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with fault tolerant control. As ECU systems are becoming large-scaled, centralized-architecture fault tolerant control is facing challenges in performance, complexity and engineering, for its dependencies, nonmodular, non-scalable and so on. In Scania’s ECUs, the archi...
