Fault Tolerant Bus Communication Protocols for Computer Systems

Bus systems form the communication medium for computers, and a great deal of effort has been devoted to detecting errors which occur as information is transferred from one module to another. In this thesis we look at the problem of not only detecting faults which occur, but continuing to function in the presence of those faults. The lines of a bus are grouped together into two classes: synchronous address and data lines, and the control lines which govern the action of the synchronous lines.
