  • Conference paper
Prozeßrechensysteme ’91

Part of the book series: Informatik-Fachberichte ((INFORMATIK,volume 269))

Abstract

The intention of this paper is to study the fault-tolerance improvement expected to be achieved by introducing forced diversity during the software development process by means of dissimilar methodologies. In particular, this impact will be analyzed with respect to the majority and the granularity of the system voter.
