DISTRIBUTED AVIONICS SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BACKUP HANDLING IN AN AVIONICS SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a distributed avionics system (100, 500) having a plurality of computer nodes arranged to execute a plurality of partitions/applications (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6). The distributed avionics system comprises reconfiguration means (332) arranged to reconfigure the distributed avionics system upon detection of failure in at least one of the computer nodes. Each partition/application is associated to a application/partition availability level. The reconfiguration means are arranged to reconfigure the distributed avionics system based on the partition/application availability levels of the partition/applications (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6). The present invention further relates to a method for back-up handling in a distributed avionics system having a plurality of computer nodes (A, B, C).
