Historical Aerospace Software Errors Categorized to Influence Fault Tolerance - Motivation
- Very little literature exists characterizing software errors in real-time avionic systems
- How, where, and why is software most likely to fail?
- Purpose
- Raise awareness of how software fails through historical study
- Recommend improvements to software fault tolerant design based on historical study
- Outline
- Discuss Software Failures - Common Cause, Failure Classes, Mitigation strategies
- Review NASA requirements for Software Fault Tolerance
- Review Historical Software Failures
- Analyze failures and provide statistics
- Erroneous vs. fail-Silent
- Reboot recoverability likelihood
- Code Location
- Missing or unknown code?
