ABSTRACT
Embedded automotive applications such as drive-by-wire
in cars require dependable interaction between various
sensors, processors, and actuators. This paper
addresses the design of low-cost communication
networks guaranteeing to meet both the performance
and fault-tolerance requirements of such distributed
applications. We develop a fault-tolerant allocation and
scheduling method which maps messages on to a low-
cost multiple-bus system to ensure predictable inter-
processor communication. The proposed method targets
time-division multiple access (TDMA) communication
