Reliability Design Problem Statement

Create data structures and algorithms that can reliably deliver correct results and preserve expected behaviour even in the face of challenging circumstances and unanticipated inputs.

Example:

  • An algorithm that uses sensor data to determine the position of the aircraft must be built to deal with sensor failures or faulty readings.

Reliability Design Problems and How to solve them

The Reliability Design Problem concerns the reliability, robustness, and correctness of algorithms and data structures when they are built and put into use.

Code for Reliability Design problem for simplified temperature control system:

We have a system that controls temperature. It has two controllers: a primary one and a backup one. Both controllers are initially working (primaryControllerWorking and backupControllerWorking are set to true). We want to simulate temperature readings, so we use random numbers. The system keeps running continuously, like a thermostat in your home that always checks the temperature. If the primary controller is working, it reads a random temperature. If the temperature is too high (above 100 degrees), it activates the backup controller. When the backup controller is activated, it does something to cool down the system (like turning on the AC when your home gets too hot). After cooling down, it turns the primary controller back on and turns itself off. If both controllers fail (imagine if your thermostat and AC both stopped working), the system gives up and says there’s a problem. The generateRandomTemperature function is like a magic box that gives us random temperature numbers between 0 and 149 degrees. The coolDownEngine function pretends to cool down the system when the backup controller is active. Finally, in the main part, we start the whole system by creating an instance of it (controlSystem) and telling it to start working....
