Abstract

AMATISTA is a European IST project whose main target is the development of a fault tolerant (FT) set of tools. These include an automatic FT Insertion (FTI) tool and a FT injection and simulation (FTIS) tool. This paper presents the AMATISTA project from a user perspective. FT experience and current non-automatic techniques and methodologies used in Alcatel Espacio (AEO) are described. The advantages of having tools for automatic FTI and FT injection and simulation are summarised. The AEO requirements for both tools are also described
