Formal analysis remains outside the mainstream of system design practice. Interactive methods and tools are regarded by some to be on the margin of useful research in this area. Al...
At runtime, an embedded control system can switch between alternative functional modes. In each mode, the system operates by using a schedule and controllers that exploit the avai...
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a wellknown technique widely used for safety assessment in the area of safety-critical systems. However, FMEA is traditionally done man...
With the increasing functionality and complexity of distributed systems, resource failures are inevitable. While numerous models and algorithms for dealing with failures exist, th...
