We present a guardian-based approach to detecting'babbling idiots', faulty nodes which
erroneously consume extra resource in an event triggered system. In general, one cannot …

This paper discusses aspects of dependability of real-time communication. In particular, we
consider timing behaviour under fault conditions for Controller Area Network (CAN) and the …

This paper is concerned with the issue of protecting CAN networks against the
consequences of babbling-idiot faults such as unscheduled traffic generated by a faulty …

Abstract THE ROLE OF THE COMMUNICATIONS BUS is fundamental in distributed real-
time control systems. Such systems are increasingly used for critical functions in avionics …

The Time-Triggered System-on-Chip (TTSoC) architecture provides a component-based
design methodology, which addresses complexity management of system-on-chip designs …

Fault-tolerant distributed systems based on fieldbuses may benefit to a great extent from the
availability of semantically rich communication services, such as those provided by group …

The capabilities of the electronic system in cars have grown over the course of the years.
The limitations of mechanical systems led to the widespread introduction of Electronic …

Die extrakorporale Lungenunterstützung (ECLA) als intensivmedizinische Behandlung des
akuten progressiven Lungenversagens (ARDS) wird heutzutage nur als Ultima-Ratio …

The event-based IEC 61499 standard was established to complement the cycle-based IEC
61131 standard for PLC applications. It focuses on the design of an application employing a …

This paper presents the approach used by the BepiColombo data management subsystem
and its SpaceWire network to handle system resets following major anomalies and to ensure …
