Abstract

Available solutions for fault tolerance in embedded automation are often based on strong customisation, have impacts on the whole life-cycle, and require highly specialised design teams, thus making dependable embedded systems costly and difficult to develop and maintain. The TIRAN project develops a framework which provides fault tolerance capabilities to automation systems, with the goal of allowing portable, reusable and cost-effective solutions. Application developers are allowed to select, configure and integrate in their own environment a variety of software-based functions for error detection, confinement and recovery provided by the framework.
