چکیده
Diversity in both hardware and software plays an essential and unmatched role in increasing the reliability of redundant systems, especially in safety and mission critical applications. The onboard computer of satellites and the flight computer of spacecrafts, which are ultra-reliable systems, utilize various hardware platforms for their redundant architecture to resolve a common cause failure (CCF) problem. Furthermore, the software is also developed by separate teams based on different software platforms to mitigate the specification and design flaws, and implementation mistakes. This paper focuses ...

Diversity in both hardware and software plays an essential and unmatched role in increasing the reliability of redundant systems, especially in safety and mission critical applications. The onboard computer of satellites and the flight computer of spacecrafts, which are ultra-reliable systems, utilize various hardware platforms for their redundant architecture to resolve a common cause failure (CCF) problem. Furthermore, the software is also developed by separate teams based on different software platforms to mitigate the specification and design flaws, and implementation mistakes. This paper focuses on modelling the diversity of redundant architectures in space systems using CCF modelling and Markov reliability analyzing. The proposed scheme is explored in two types of applications: mission critical applications (with long mission time) and safety critical applications (with short mission time). Analytical and simulation results show the effectiveness of diversity in increasing the reliability of these systems. Since a significant percentage of all failures appear as common cause failures, which restrict reliability improvement through similar redundant modules, achieving ultra-reliability necessitates considering diversity in these systems.
