Formal Reasoning on Fault Coverage of Fault Tolerant .. - Bernardeschi.. (1994)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....fault tolerant technique is applied to design a system that recovers from the faulty behaviour hiding the effect of faults to an external observer. Equivalence theories based on the reactions of systems to stimuli from the outside world can therefore be used in the design of fault tolerant systems [6, 20]. In particular, the relationship between the system and the fault tolerant system can be studied by using the notion of observational equivalence. Observational equivalence, first introduced in [15] is based on the idea that the behaviour of the system is determined by the way it interacts with ....

....then observational equivalence is checked between the process corresponding to the system specification in absence of faults and that corresponding to the fault tolerant system where fault occurrences are constrained by the fault hypothesis. Observational equivalence has been first used in [20] to compare the correct behaviour of a system with the behaviour of the fault tolerant system in presence of faults; in [6] the authors define new process algebra operators to describe the behaviour of a faulty system, still using observational equivalence to relate the system and its fault ....

With the modelling done, the problem was formulated thus: Is the restartable system (called FTS ) equivalent to a perfect system that never fails And if so, what is the equivalence The answer, also reported in [Pra84], is that the two systems are in a weak bisimulation, a form of bisimulation that ignores internal moves, such as the secret feeding back of messages to the quarantined recovering process. This means that an observer can see no difference between the two, thus agreeing with our experience with the ....
