Talk:Embedded Control Systems Design/Learning from failure

Possible Improvements
Interesting article, but riddled with grammatical errors and a few technical inaccuracies. Patriot's problem had nothing to do with a missile - none were launched, because the target had been lost. And in the Mars article, priority inversion protection doesn't lead to all threads having elevated priorities, because in any correctly implemented priority promotion scheme, threads which are no longer contributing to the inversion get set back down to their original priority.

It's important to document these kinds of failures, but this needs to be tightened up. 199.46.198.230 (discuss) 15:55, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Other Examples
Other interesting examples that can be treated in this section are: Wannes (talk) 10:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The Patriot Missile Failure
 * Ariane 5
 * ParkShuttle: An automated peoplemover. This would be in line with the design example


 * You might also want to reference The Risks Digest, which regularly covers such failures. Webaware talk 10:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article on priority inversion has a failure example with the Mars rover Pathfinder. Bruyninc (talk) 07:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
