Workshop on Architecting Safety in Collaborative Mobile Systems (ASCoMS'12), Proceedings of SAFECOMP 2012 Workshops, Magdeburg, Germany, September 2012
Future physical environments are expected to be pervasively
enriched with sensors, which mobile embedded applications can use to
safely interact in and with that environment. Unfortunately, due to the
open and uncertain nature of the environment and the wireless communication,
it is not possible to provide strict a priori guarantees with
regard to the quality and timeliness with which such environments can
be perceived.
In this paper we take a look at the threats to a reliable perception of
the environment, considering both timing and value faults. We discuss
how such threats can be mitigated and we explore possible paths towards
an integrated architecture to efficiently achieve a dependable and stable
perception of smart environments in the presence of timing and value
faults.
