Fault tolerance has been an active research area for many years. This volume presents papers from a workshop held in 1993 where a small number of key researchers and practitioners in the area met to discuss the experiences of industrial practitioners, to provide a perspective on the state of the art of fault tolerance research, to determine whether the subject is becoming mature, and to learn from the experiences so far in order to identify what might be important research topics for the coming years. The workshop provided a more intimate environment for discussions and presentations than usual at conferences. The papers in the volume were presented at the workshop, then updated and revised to reflect what was learned at the workshop.

This book describes fault tolerance techniques based on software and hardware to create hybrid techniques. They are able to reduce overall performance degradation and increase error detection when associated with applications implemented in embedded processors. Coverage begins with an extensive discussion of the current state-of-the-art in fault tolerance techniques. The authors then discuss the best trade-off between software-based and hardware-based techniques and introduce novel hybrid techniques. Proposed techniques increase existing fault detection rates up to 100%, while maintaining low performance overheads in area and application execution time.

Papers from a November 2001 workshop present the work of researchers and practitioners working on theory, techniques, and applications that concern analysis and manipulation of the source code of computer systems. Specific topics include application maintenance using software agents, a source-to-source compiler for generating dependable software, detecting dead statements for concurrent programs, finding code on the World Wide Web, and identifying clones in the Linux Kernel. Other subjects include measurement and analysis of runtime profiling data for Java programs, preserving the documentary structure of source code in language-based transformation tools, and type infeasible call chains.

This report presents a model for fault insertion through software, describes its implementation on a fault tolerant computer, FTMP, presents a summary of fault detection, identifications, and reconfiguration data collected with software implemented fault insertion and compares the results to hardware fault insertion data. The software fault insertion model assumes faults manifest to data errors at the output of a task. The implementation of the software fault insertion model on FTMP allows inserted faults to emulate faults in the processor data path, processor control path, system memory, and system transmit bus. The experimental results showed detection time there was no correlation between software inserted faults, and hardware inserted faults; this is because hardware inserted faults must manifest to errors before detection, whereas software inserted faults immediately exercise the error detection mechanisms. In summary, although software fault insertion does not map directly to hardware fault insertion, experiments indicate software fault insertion as a means to characterize the fault handling capabilities of a system in error detection, identification, and error recovery. Keywords: Debugging(Computers); Computer program reliability; Computer aided diagnosis.
