We present an approach to the synthesis of fault-tolerant hard real-time systems for safety-
critical applications. We use checkpointing with rollback recovery and active replication for …

This paper presents a protocol for resource sharing in a hierarchical real-time scheduling
framework. Targeting real-time open systems, the protocol and the scheduling framework …

Multicore platforms are becoming the dominant trend in designing Mixed-Criticality Systems
(MCSs), which integrate applications of different levels of criticality into the same platform. A …

Open adaptive systems are the basis for a promising new generation of embedded systems
with huge economic potential. In many application domains, however, the systems are safety …

Abstract Brake-by-wire (BBW) systems that have no mechanical linkage between the brake
pedal and the brake mechanism are expected to improve vehicle safety through better …

This work addresses the issue of design optimization for fault-tolerant hard real-time
systems. In particular, our focus is on the handling of transient faults using both …

Depending on the physical structuring of large distributed safety-critical real-time systems,
one can distinguish federated and integrated system architectures. The DECOS architecture …

Abstract Model-driven development has become common practice in design of safety-critical
real-time systems. High-level modeling constructs help to reduce the overall system …

Abstract SAFETY-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS have to function correctly and deliver high level
of quality-of-service even in the presence of faults. This thesis deals with techniques for …

The integrated EU-project DECOS (dependable embedded components and systems)
developed an integrated architecture for safety critical embedded systems. To reduce the …
