Timing Fault Models for Systems with Multiple Timers

Multiple timing faults, although detectable individually, can hide each other’s faulty behavior making the faulty system indistinguishable from a non-faulty one. A set of graph augmentations are introduced for single timing faults. The fault detection capability of the augmentations is analyzed in the presence of multiple timing faults and shown that multiple occurrences of a class of timing faults can be detected.
