Call for Participation
IEEE International Workshop
On Embedded Fault-Tolerant
Systems
May 22-23, 1998
Boston University, Boston,
MA
Sponsored by:
IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Fault-Tolerant Computing
In cooperation with
IFIP Working group 10.4, Boston University, Boston, MA
Objectives
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers
to present and exchange research results and advances
in the field of Embedded Fault-Tolerant Systems, both
hardware and software, and their interactions.
Topics
Topics of interest to the workshop include (but are not limited to):
-
Fault-tolerant hardware/software co-design of embedded computing
systems
-
Verification and validation of complex embedded computing
systems
-
Hardware/software fault-tolerance tradeoffs
-
Chip-level design of embedded fault-tolerant systems;
-
Embedded fault-tolerant systems in the aerospace, automotive
and telecommunications industries
-
Applications of embedded fault-tolerant design to medical
diagnostics equipment and financial-banking transactions systems
-
Formal methods and tools for verification and validation
of embedded fault-tolerant systems
-
Case studies.
Selected papers will be published in special issues on " Embedded Fault-Toleran
t Systems " of the journals:
- The Journal of Supercomputing,(December 1998), USA
- IEEE MICRO (September/October 1998), IEEE Computer Society
