            Abstract : 
To overcome some dependability limitations of CAN that arise from its non-redundant bus topology, we have proposed a CAN-compliant replicated star topology, ReCANcentrate, whose hubs incorporate the necessary fault-treatment and fault-tolerance mechanisms. This paper presents ongoing work regarding the design and formal verification of the strategy each node of ReCANcentrate uses to manage the transmissions and the receptions on the replicated star, as well as to tolerate faults.
