Abstract

A basic capability required of fault-tolerant systems is the detection of a variety of faults. There has been a much research over the past years in this area, and many papers have been published in the various Symposia on Fault-Tolerant Computing (FTCS) which started in 1971. This paper discusses the basic problems and approaches in dealing with hardware faults and points out some of the techniques which deal with them, with particular reference to those published in the symposia. Technology trends are examined to provide an idea of problems emerging in the future, and possible directions for solution are identified.
