Abstract

This paper describes a fault-tolerant system that is based on two replicas of a self-checking module and on an error-masking interface. The main contributions of this work rely on the fail-safe/strongly-fail-safe design of the error-masking interface, and on the analysis of the competitiveness of this fault-tolerant scheme with respect to its reliability.
