Software Faults in Evolving a Large, Real-Time System: a Case Study
We report the results of a survey about the software faults encountered during the testing phases in evolving a large real-time system. The survey was done in two parts: the rst pa...

A New Heuristic to Discriminate between Transient and Intermittent Faults
Effective discrimination between transient and permanent faults is a very important practical problem in (dependable) system design. A count-andthreshold mechanism named -count, d...

Testing and Diagnosis of Interconnect Structures in FPGAs
Since Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are reprogrammable, faults in them can be easily toleruted once fault sites are located. Previous researches on diagnosis of FPGAs mai...

Fault Injection based on a Partial View of the Global State of a Distributed System
Validating distributed systems is particularly difficult, since failures may occur due to a correlated occurrence of faults in different parts of the system. This paper describes ...
