Abstract

The idea that systems have a property called ‘resilience’ has emerged in the last decade [1]. In this work we intend to bring the idea of resilient systems for the hardware applied in safety-critical systems, such as the new nuclear reactor instrumentation and control (I&C) systems. Basic concepts of resilience in complex systems were analyzed from the point of view of hardware architectures, leading to linkages between concepts and methods for resilience using an approach based in HDL programmable devices.
