The performance mode offers high processing power and the reliability mode offers a high dependability.
This is important for providing timely and reliable predictions and for ensuring higher dependability in the solution, as it would be unrealistic to assume that optimal QoS can be achieved at design time.
The denominator is constant resulting in a high dependability of this index to system availability.
Due to the high importance of these messages, SMV network and GOOSE network shall be of high dependability; MMS network is applied to the message exchange between devices on station level and bay level, such as monitoring and control messages of devices on bay level, the requirement on dependability is low, but that on the message quantity is relatively high.
We showed that the router enables the extension of application areas of CAN to systems with higher dependability and performance requirements, while still providing legacy CAN interface support.
The paper comes to the conclusion that CAN is well suited for soft real-time systems where flexibility is important, while TTP is most appropriate for the design of composable hard real-time systems with high dependability requirements.
Functional safety, as addressed in the standard IEC 61508, is a key requirement for a high dependability of controlled systems.
Component-based software engineering is increasingly being adopted in developing a wide range of applications that have high dependability requirements.
There is increasing agreement that, to achieve high dependability in complex systems, design processes should move in a direction where dependability and other quality attributes are controlled from the early stages rather than left to emerge (or not) at the end.
This may be because of all of the self-ranking categories, UGs ranked themselves, on average, the highest in terms of dependability at the early (12-week) interview, so there was not much room for increased self-rank in this area (Fig. 2).
