Capabilities and Limitations of Static Error Detection in Software for Critical Systems

نویسنده

چکیده

A new category of static analysis tool is beginning to appear in the marketplace that goes beyond checking of relatively local characteristics of software modules to assess the logical consistency of an entire software system. Our belief is that these tools have the potential to dramatically enhance the effectiveness and timeliness of validation and verification of software for critical systems. Nevertheless, these tools have limitations, and it is important to understand both the capabilities and limitations of such tools to ensure that they are utilized most productively in the overall development life cycle of software for critical systems.

THE STUDY OF PACKET LOSS EFFECT ON NETWORK CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR FUNCTION MODEL

Modern control systems widely use network to decrease the implementation cost and also increase the performance. Although they have several advantages, they suffer from some limitations and deficiencies. Packet loss is one of the main limitations which affect the control system in different conditions and finally can lead to system instability. To prevent such problems it is important to model ...

Estimation of pull-in instability voltage of Euler-Bernoulli micro beam by back propagation artificial neural network

The static pull-in instability of beam-type micro-electromechanical systems is theoretically investigated. Two engineering cases including cantilever and double cantilever micro-beam are considered. Considering the mid-plane stretching as the source of the nonlinearity in the beam behavior, a nonlinear size-dependent Euler-Bernoulli beam model is used based on a modified couple stress theory, c...

Reversible Logic Multipliers: Novel Low-cost Parity-Preserving Designs

Reversible logic is one of the new paradigms for power optimization that can be used instead of the current circuits. Moreover, the fault-tolerance capability in the form of error detection or error correction is a vital aspect for current processing systems. In this paper, as the multiplication is an important operation in computing systems, some novel reversible multiplier designs are propose...
