DISPO-2 (Diverse Software Project)
Sponsored by British Energy. July 2000 - June 2003
Funding to CSR, City University: £340,000
Summary: This project is a follow-up to the successful DISPO project (1997-2000). It builds on many years of successful research on software fault tolerance and diversity at CSR From the viewpoint of safety assessment, we will study the practical application of the mathematical models we have previously produced for assessing failure correlation in diverse systems. From the viewpoint of achieving diversity for safety and reliability, we will advance the understanding of the effects of "diversity-seeking decisions". For a discussion paper click here.
