Testing Concurrency and Fault Tolerance in Elixir/Nerves on a Real-World Audiovisual Sensor Network

Discover how Elixir and Nerves perform in the demanding environment of a real-world audiovisual sensor network. Managing a large array of interactive and environmental sensors presents unique challenges, particularly when dealing with hardware malfunctions and unreliable data in unattended, long-running systems.

In this session, Marta Habdas demonstrates why Elixir’s lightweight processes and isolation mechanisms make it an ideal choice for ensuring fault tolerance in physical computing. To move beyond simulations, Marta presents a physical prototype featuring Arduinos as controllers and Raspberry Pis running Nerves for event processing. Through controlled audience interaction, you will see how the system behaves in real-time during sensor failures and process crashes, with the audiovisual output providing immediate feedback on the system’s resilience.
