Hardware-Software Interaction in Dependability Modelling of Fault Tolerant System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reliability data obtained from the field shows significant deviation from the expectation, especially from those obtained from reliability modelling. This hints that a more acurate model should be employed in the evaluation. A detailed model incorporating a transient fault in the form of hardware-software interaction offers a solution to this problem.
