Title
Reliability of Task Execution During Safe Software Processing
Abstract
This paper presents the reliability evaluation of task execution during safe software processing. The standard method of duplication in a safety-critical application can also be applied for tasks in a software system. But in addition to this, there is also the possibility for coded task processing to increase the reliability and availability of software. The presented analysis covers the reliability analysis of a single, a duplicated and a coded task by the technique of continuous time Markov processes. Markov processes are often used for the reliability evaluation of safety-critical systems. We introduce a method to describe the execution time of tasks by means of enhanced Markov models and their solution by numerical methods.
