ABSTRACT
This paper studies the fault diagnosis of component-based applications, especially embedded ones. The principle of the proposed diagnosis technique is to implement inter-component tests in order to detect and locate faulty components without component replication. A diagnosis service for embedded software component based systems is developed. Its advantages are application autonomy, cost-effectiveness and better usage of system resources. Such advantages are very important for embedded systems.

Self-Implicating Structures for Diagnosable Systems
In this paper, a new class of diagnosable systems, called tp-self-implicating systems, which is a special case of the well-known tp-diagnosable systems introduced by Preparata et al. [1], is described. If there are no more than tp faulty units and the ...
Time-Constrained Failure Diagnosis in Distributed Embedded Systems: Application to Actuator Diagnosis
Advanced automotive control applications such as steer-by-wire are typically implemented as distributed systems comprising many embedded processors, sensors, and actuators interacting via a communication bus. They have severe cost constraints, but ...
The Comparison Approach to Multiprocessor Fault Diagnosis
In this correspondence a system-level, comparison-based strategy for identifying faulty processors in a multiprocessor system is described. Unlike other strategies which have been proposed in the literature, the comparison approach is more efficient and ...
