Fault Detection and Diagnosis Techniques for Molecular Computing

Fault detection and diagnosis techniques that are essential for defect tolerance, fault tolerance and self-repair of molecular computing systems are discussed. These techniques enable robust molecular computing system design protected from manufacturing defects and run-time errors in the underlying hardware.
