  • First Online:
Dependable Multicore Architectures at Nanoscale

Abstract

This chapter discusses surface transportation applications, space applications, and medical applications in detail. It extends the discussion from Chap. 3 where we considered a broader variety of application domains and their relation to dependability. The choice of these applications is due to expertise of the authors and positioning of these applications in the overall dependability palette as ones of the most challenging yet different from each other.
