ABSTRACT
The application domain of cyber-physical systems includes various mission-critical systems, where the system’s security and reliability aspects are crucial. Towards this direction, proper mechanisms that are able to handle the challenges posed by zero-faults (or near zero-faults) specifications have been studied. Among others, these mechanisms affect the system’s decision-making, which usually dominates the performance of overall CPS architecture. In this chapter, we study aspects related to the fault-tolerance of architecture’s components. Although emphasis is given at the hardware infrastructure of these systems, similar (or relevant) techniques are also applicable at software level.
