Summary:The authors propose a system architecture, MARS, which supports a strict separation of the issues of synchronization and timeliness, data transformation, and the dependability aspects (e.g., error detection, error handling, and redundancy management. The systematic development of fault-tolerant real-time systems with guaranteed timeliness requires an appropriate system architecture and a rigorous design methodology. The authors propose a system with strict separation of the issues of synchronization, dependability aspects, and data transformation. Dependability aspects are handled by the architecture. Synchronization and programming in the large are handled at the design level. The programmer only has to be concerned with a sequential program for which he has to meet a so-called time budget. The architecture and many tools have been implemented and can be demonstrated on a fault-tolerant prototype application.< >
