Abstract

Real-time control applications involve the interaction of multiple components. As systems become more complex their reliability tends to decrease, hence, fault tolerance must be incorporated to keep reliability within specified levels. A novel reconfiguration mechanism inspired by mechanisms that take place during the embryonic development of living beings is proposed in this paper. It is illustrated using an example that the rapid low-level fault-recovery characteristic of the embryonic system makes it a promising approach for real-time control applications.
