Design and modeling of hybrid software fault-tolerant systems
- Date Issued:
- 1992
- Summary:
- Fault tolerant programming methods improve software reliability using the principles of design diversity and redundancy. Design diversity and redundancy, on the other hand, escalate the cost of the software design and development. In this thesis, we study the reliability of hybrid fault tolerant systems. Probability models based on fault trees are developed for the recovery block (RB), N-version programming (NVP) and hybrid schemes which are the combinations of RB and NVP. Two heuristic methods are developed to construct hybrid fault tolerant systems with total cost constraints. The algorithms provide a systematic approach to the design of hybrid fault tolerant systems.
