Summary:
Our society is increasingly digitalized, with computers controlling many systems in areas that may endanger human life or the environment (e.g., airplanes, factories). A large part of the communication within and among these safety - critical systems is done via wired networks. Engineers are currently working to standardize features in Ethernet that provide services needed in safety critical systems. Specifically, the IEEE Time - Sensitive Networ king (TSN) group works to provide reliability and timeliness services by extending Ethernet . The methods to design such a safety - related network are characterized by high complexity and intense software and hardware utilization. The increased complexity in safety - critical systems is supported by the use of Computer - Aided Design (CAD) tools. In this thesis, we have developed methods and tools to decrease the monetary and implementation cost of the TSN - based systems while ensuring the application - specific critical properties, such as timeliness, reliability or fault - to lerance. The proposed methods were evaluated on real - world use cases from areas such as aerospace and automotive . The developed tools can be used by both industrial and academic end - users .
