Abstract:

The ARC system is a double loop, damage tolerant information network. It is designed for shipboard communication among transducers, actuators, controllers, and displays. It uses hardware tests to detect damage and to effect the best reconfiguration. It can survive any one group of adjacent hits and maintain complete connectivity among the surviving nodes. Author
