Abstract:

The goal of the task described in this report is to establish the basis for an advanced fault-tolerant onboard computer that will be the successor to the current generation of fault-tolerant computers. Towards this goal we are working on the following technical problems 1 The architecture of a network-based fault-tolerant system 2 The diagnosis of transient faults from error reports 3 The use of Ada as the language for the executives of the computer and the application programs and 4 A new paradigm an extension of the conventional voting paradigm for comparing the values produced by replicated processors.
