The constant progress accomplished in microelectronic circuits manufacturing technologies entails a significant increase of their sensitivity to different parasitic phenomena induced by the environment, making mandatory the use of fault tolerance techniques to guarantee the final system reliability/safety.

The proposal main goal is to strengthen research and cooperation among numerous Latin American and European Universities having well-recognized skills in this area, via researchers mobility, technical meetings and seminars. Thanks to both the novelty of problems and possible solutions and to the complementary experience of the network members, the planned activities will highly contribute to diffuse the knowledge of fault-tolerant design approaches in participating countries.
