2. N APOLI, 20 TH D ECEMBER 2011 Presentation Anna Lanzaro, PhD student in Computer Science Engineering at University of Naples Federico II (since 8 months) Focus on: Fault Injection techniques for dependability evaluation Master’s degree thesis: Experimentanal Analysis of fault injection tools on complex embedded systems (in the context of CSTEP project) Early Stage Researcher at CSW

3. N APOLI, 20 TH D ECEMBER 2011 Research activities @CINI – WP3 Improvement of Xception Fault Injection tool developed by Critical Software Collaboration with Ricardo Barbosa and Miguel Pinto from CSW @CSW – WP5 Development of Fault Injection tool for multicore architecture

4. Multicore: innovative topic We are going towards multicore High performance required by new features in domains such as Automotive and Avionic ones ESA Workshop on Avionics Data, Control and Software Systems (ADCSS) Industrial requests for these technologies N APOLI, 20 TH D ECEMBER 2011

5. Multicore Fault Injection Final goal Implementation of a fault injection plug-in for multicore Integration with csXception fault injection tool What we need? A multicore target system: Intel® Core i7 Fault/Error model definition Tools to access to the on-chip resources N APOLI, 20 TH D ECEMBER 2011

6. Tools N APOLI, 20 TH D ECEMBER 2011

7. Me & CSTEP Objective is to produce at least a paper in the next month about multicore fault Injection (Fault Model defined and technologies challenges)

8. Impact on Career development Opportunity to carry out my research while staying in touch with the real needs of the industry Collaboration with people from both academia (Joao Duraes from ISEC/FCTUC, Luis Miguel Pinho and Stefan M. Petters from ISEP) and industries (Ricardo Barbosa and Joao Antonio from CSW) Meet people from different countries and backgrounds Improvement of my English Learn Portuguese N APOLI, 20 TH D ECEMBER 2011
