Abstract :
The paper discusses the principles of redundancy classification for the design of fault tolerant computer systems. The basic functions of classification: definitive, characteristic and predictive are presented. It is shown that the proposed classification of redundancy possesses substantial predictive power. The proposed classification is suitable for the analysis of roles of hardware and software to achieve system fault tolerance
