| Abstract: | In Automotive and
other areas embedded systems no longer only have to work, they have to
work safely. Basic hardware and software measures to achieve this
safety are known in principle for decades. Yet, when applying them to
real systems two aspects need attention: Additional failure
possibilities around the basic concept must be analysed and documented
to achieve sufficient safety. And in turn the detection measures for
such failures need decisions whether to implement them in hardware or
software. The talk explains the first point experience of several ECC
applications in safety-related systems. It expands on the question of
hardware versus software implementation of safety using examples from
further application areas. |
