Unanticipated runtime events, such as faults, can lead to missed deadlines in real-time systems. While it is not always possible to know when a fault will occur, we can sometimes ...
Firewalls are the mainstay of enterprise security and the most widely adopted technology for protecting private networks. An error in a firewall policy either creates security hole...
Some safety-critical distributed embedded systems may need to use centralized components to achieve certain dependability properties. The difficulty in combining centralized and d...
Abstract-We present a new form of quantitative safety analysis safety optimization. This method is a combination of fault tree analysis(FTA) and mathematical optimization technique...
This paper explores hardware-implemented error-detection and security mechanisms embedded as modules in a hardware-level framework called the Reliability and Security Engine (RSE)...

This paper presents a novel circuit fault detection and isolation technique for quasi delay-insensitive asynchronous circuits. We achieve fault isolation by a combination of physi...
We concentrate on automated synthesis of multitolerant programs, i.e., programs that tolerate multiple classes of faults and provide a (possibly) different level of fault-toleranc...
Aggregation refers to a set of functions that provide global information about a distributed system. These functions operate on numeric values distributed over the system and can ...
