Reliability Analysis of a Self-Repairing Embryonic Machine

The embryonics project proposes a family of cellular architectures with reconfiguration properties inspired by the ontogenesis of multicellular organisms. This paper proposes reliability models for the MICTREE embryonic architecture. The models are used to analyse the reliability of MICTREE arrays with different combinations of spare cells. The methodology followed to attain the models can be used to analyse other cellular architectures with spares.
