Schaffer, E J; Williams, T J

Topics studied include hardware aspects of coding and modular redundancy. Topics covered in the software sections include means of protection, detection and correction of software faults through software as well as software methods to handle hardware errors. These methods include diagnostics as well as executive recovery techniques and retrials of instructions through time redundancy. Present day computer capabilities will then be presented. Finally duplex and triplex fault-tolerant industrial computer systems will be discussed that may be built from conventional computers with little or no need for expensive additional hardware.
