Abstract :
The use of watchdog processors in the implementation of Structural Integrity Checking (SIC) is described. A model for ideal SIC is given in terms of formal languages and automata. Techniques for use in implementing SIC are presented. The modification of a Pascal compiler into an SIC Pascal preprocessor is summarized.
