Fault Tolerant Hardware/Software Architecture for Flight Critical Function

Abstract

This lecture series is intended to cover experience with flight tested fly-by-wire systems as well as issues in redundancy management of synchronous and asynchronous approaches. It will specifically address the individual aspects of software fault tolerance, actuation fault tolerance, reliable data communication, and multi-computer operation using the ADA language. Partial contents: Digital Fly-by-wire Experience; Redundancy Management of Synchronous and Asynchronous Systems; Software Fault Tolerance Experiments; Can Design Faults Be Tolerated?; Dependable Avionic Data Transmission; Multi-Computer Fault Tolerant Systems Using ADA; Design Issues in Data Synchronous Systems; Digital Fault-Tolerant Flight Actuation Systems; Design Validation of Fly-by-wire Flight Control Systems. Keywords: Computer systems programs; Computer systems hardware; Errors; Tolerances(Mechanics).
