Fault-tolerant systems: the way biology does it

The design of a basic cell to be used as the main building block of embryonic arrays is presented. The main properties of embryonic systems, including multicellular organisation, cellular differentiation and cellular division, are all covered by the arrays constructed with the cell. The implementati...

More Information
Summary:The design of a basic cell to be used as the main building block of embryonic arrays is presented. The main properties of embryonic systems, including multicellular organisation, cellular differentiation and cellular division, are all covered by the arrays constructed with the cell. The implementation of a 1-bit, 3-input voter circuit is presented as practical example showing the effectiveness of such a design in terms of functionality and fault-tolerance.
