DEPENDABLE DESIGN METHODOLOGY • Identify fault classes, fault latency and fault impact • Determine qualitative and quantitative specs for fault tolerance and evaluate your design in specific environment • Identify “weak spots” and assess potential damage • Decompose the system • Develop fault and error detection techniques and algorithms • Develop fault isolation techniques and algorithms • Develop recovery/reintegration/restart • Evaluate degree of fault tolerance • Refine, iterate for improvement; try to eliminate “weak spots” and minimize potential damage DS - IX - NFT - 31

  32. REAL-TIME SYSTEMS DESIGN • Identify time/critical tasks and specify their timing (deadlines, durations, frequency, periodicity, if any). Characterize the system load and environment. • Characterize timing of a system (hardware and software). • Map timing specification onto a system timing (find the best resource allocation and scheduling methods), and incorporate concurrent monitoring. • Verify and validate the design for quantitative and qualitative specifications. • Refine, iterate and fine-tune the design.

  33. RESPONSIVE SYSTEM DESIGN • Determine qualitative and quantitative specifications for fault tolerance and task timeliness which meet user requirements. • Determine system timing (hardware and software) assess damage, availability and responsiveness. • Develop and time fault and error detection techniques and algorithms. • Develop and time fault isolation techniques and algorithms. • Develop time recovery/reintegration/restart. • Map timing specification onto system timing under appropriate assumptions and incorporate concurrent monitoring. • Evaluate responsiveness. • Refine and iterate for improvement.
