Evaluating System Dependability in a Co-Design Framework

The widespread adoption of embedded microprocessor-based systems for safety critical applications mandates the use of co-design tools able to evaluate system dependability at every steps of the design cycle. In this paper, we describe how Fault Injection techniques have been integrated in an existing co-design tool and which advantages come from the availability of such an enhanced tool. The effectiveness of the proposed tool is assessed on a simple case study.
