Abstract

This paper proposes an approach for hardening embedded systems that combines the identification of the most convenient architecture and the set of application-level fault management techniques, fulfilling reliability requirements and maximizing performance. A Design Space Exploration approach is proposed; it extends existing solutions by taking into account different heterogeneous computing resources, thus enriching the traditional scenario of the fixed a-priori architecture. Experimental results on synthetic examples and a real case-study are reported to show the benefits of the approach extended to the architectural resources.
