Abstract

In order to study different configurations of distributed systems hierarchical models are needed. Hierarchical models are suitable to friendly and easily study the influence of different parameters in distributed systems. In this paper a hierarchical modelling approach of a distributed industrial control system is presented. In this sense, different fault tolerant techniques to be used are evaluated and different possible system configurations are studied. Two fault tolerant architectures for the distributed system nodes are explained and their influence in the whole system is evaluated. Also the benefits of using checkpointing techniques are presented. In order to do the hierarchical models we use stochastic activity networks and the UltraSAN tool.
