Increasing reliability is one of the most important design goals for current and future
embedded systems. In this paper, we will put focus on the design phase in which reliability …

Due to current technology scaling trends, digital designs are becoming more sensitive to
radiation-induced particle hits resulting from radioactivity decay and cosmic rays. A low …

Continuous decrease in the transistor technology sizes has enabled much denser
packaging of electronic components on chips, which has resulted in integrated circuits with …

As the advance in semiconductor technology, the tolerance for transient faults caused by
particle strike, called SET (single event transient), becomes an important issue, and …

In this work, the focus is put on the behavior of a system in case a fault occurs that disables
the system from executing its applications. Instead of executing a random subset of the …

In this paper, a new methodology is presented for topology optimization of networked
embedded systems as they occur in automotive and avionic systems as well as wireless …

Increasing reliability at a minimum amount of extra cost is a major challenge in todays ECU
network design. Considering reliability as an objective already in early design phases has …

SRAM-based FPGAs are increasingly popular in the aerospace industry due to their field
programmability and low cost. However, they suffer from cosmic radiation induced Single …

As the complexity of digital circuits increases, High-Level Synthesis (HLS) is becoming a
valuable tool to increase productivity and design reuse by utilizing relevant Electronic …

Space computing systems commonly use field-programmable gate arrays to provide fault
tolerance by applying triple modular redundancy (TMR) to existing register-transfer-level …
