Distributed Avionic Computers.

Abstract

The goal of the task described in this report is to establish the basis for an advanced fault-tolerant onboard computer that will be the successor to the current generation of fault-tolerant computers. Towards this goal we are working on the following technical problems: (1) The architecture of a network-based fault-tolerant system; (2) The diagnosis of transient faults from error reports; (3) The use of Ada as the language for the executives of the computer and the application programs and ; (4) A new paradigm (an extension of the conventional voting paradigm) for comparing the values produced by replicated processors.
