Abstract :
The design of fault-tolerant systems to tolerate a larger number of faults without a significant increase in the amount of redundancy is discussed. The technique is to partition a module into submodules and provide local redundancy. The results are illustrated for a duplex system and then generalized to other fault-tolerant systems. The issue of optimal partitioning is also addressed
