Auto-pilot and fault tolerance

Hi

First apologies for entirely miss-answering your previous question!

As to this question you may find the following article useful:

http://library-dspace.larc.nasa.gov/dspace/jsp/bitstream/2002/12633/1/NASA-2000-tm210616.pdf

It provides details of software fault tolerance in general, but also has specific examples of the systems used in the B777 Flight control computer, and the Airbus A320/A330/A340 Flight control computer

This is also an interesting, if slightly dated guide on fault tolerant software:
http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/des_s99/sw_fault_tolerance/

This article around software fault tolerance for critical spacecraft applications may also be relevant to you research.

I've never had a huge interest in medicine applications, so don't have any relevant links for you in that field.

As mentioned by the above poster it may be worth you looking at clustering etc as ways of providing some fault tolerance to applications that may not have been designed with that in mind from the ground up, although clustering etc might be classed more as hardware and O/S fault tolerance than strictly application fault tolerance.

Steve’s point on subs also looks like an interesting area for research!

hope the above is useful to you

Hi Bellpm2006,

I'm pretty new to this (joined the site quite a while ago, but only started using it this week so I'm still getting used to the system.

Given that I feel I provided relevant information to your question, that was different to the other answer, I had expected the points to be split.

Should my answer not have been relevant could you give me a couple of pointers as to why to aid my future use of this site.

cheers

My answer is the same as in https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21852050/Electronic-Signatures.html#16715632

Cheers

Steve
