Guaranteeing replica determinism on IEC 61499
Mário de Sousa · 2014
Being distributed in nature, IEC 61499 industrial control applications are subject to partial failures. Building applications that are tolerant of these failures (i.e. a fault-tolerant application) may be achieved through the use of replication. In this paper we present a framework to support replicated IEC 61499 applications, and study how replica determinism may be achieved in this framework.
