  abstract = {Nodes, among the components of distributed embedded systems, exhibit the greatest permanent failure rate among. Thus, providing tolerance to nodes faults is mandatory whenever high-reliability is required, being node replication the most common technique for that purpose. This paper proposes a novel technique suitable for CAN-based systems that simplifieses existing approaches taking advantage of a star topology and the FTT protocol}

  abstract = {The traditional approaches to the design of distributed safety-critical systems, due to fault-tolerance reasons, have mostly considered static cyclic table-based traffic scheduling. However, there is a growing demand for operational flexibility and integration, mainly to improve efficiency in the use of system resources, with the network playing a central role to support such properties. This calls for dynamic online traffic scheduling techniques so that dynamic communication requirements are adequately supported. Nevertheless, using dynamic traffic management mechanisms raises additional problems, in terms of fault-tolerance, related with the weaker knowledge of the future system state caused by the higher level of operational flexibility. Such problems have been recently addressed in the scope of using flexible time-triggered CAN (FTT-CAN) in safety-critical applications in order to benefit from the high operational flexibility of this protocol. This paper gathers and reviews the main mechanisms that were developed to provide dependability to the protocol, namely, master replication and fail-silence enforcement}
