{"abstract":[{"text":"<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>\n               <jats:p>This paper presents a multi-layer software reliability approach that leverages multiple software layers (e. g., programming language, compiler, and operating system) to improve the overall system reliability considering unreliable or partly-reliable hardware. We present a comprehensive design flow that integrates multiple software layers while accounting for the knowledge from lower hardware layers. We show how multiple software layers synergistically operate to achieve a high degree of reliability.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"it - Information Technology","issue":"3","type":"journal_article","date_created":"2026-07-05T14:38:31Z","intvolume":"        57","date_updated":"2026-07-05T14:43:12Z","publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1611-2776","2196-7032"]},"author":[{"last_name":"Shafique","first_name":"Muhammad","full_name":"Shafique, Muhammad"},{"full_name":"Axer, Philip","first_name":"Philip","last_name":"Axer"},{"last_name":"Borchert","first_name":"Christoph","full_name":"Borchert, Christoph"},{"full_name":"Chen, Jian-Jia","first_name":"Jian-Jia","last_name":"Chen"},{"full_name":"Chen, Kuan-Hsun","first_name":"Kuan-Hsun","last_name":"Chen"},{"full_name":"Döbel, Björn","last_name":"Döbel","first_name":"Björn"},{"last_name":"Ernst","first_name":"Rolf","full_name":"Ernst, Rolf"},{"first_name":"Hermann","last_name":"Härtig","full_name":"Härtig, Hermann"},{"first_name":"Andreas","last_name":"Heinig","full_name":"Heinig, Andreas"},{"first_name":"Rüdiger","last_name":"Kapitza","full_name":"Kapitza, Rüdiger"},{"full_name":"Kriebel, Florian","first_name":"Florian","last_name":"Kriebel"},{"full_name":"Lohmann, Daniel","last_name":"Lohmann","first_name":"Daniel"},{"last_name":"Marwedel","first_name":"Peter","full_name":"Marwedel, Peter"},{"last_name":"Rehman","first_name":"Semeen","full_name":"Rehman, Semeen"},{"last_name":"Schmoll","first_name":"Florian","full_name":"Schmoll, Florian"},{"last_name":"Spinczyk","first_name":"Olaf","full_name":"Spinczyk, Olaf"}],"year":"2015","title":"Multi-layer software reliability for unreliable hardware","doi":"10.1515/itit-2014-1081","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"ieee":"M.
