Study on Weighted Tolerance-Cost Model for Tolerance Allocation

Least sensitive tolerance allocation

A new formulation to the tolerance allocation based on minimum sensitivity is given. Several synthesis methodologies are reviewed to highlight their importance in details. A brief but complete literature review is given and conclusions are drawn. Objectives such as minimum cost functions, minimum sensitivity functions and minimum variance functions are formulated and a heuristic approach is use...

Myriad: Cost-Effective Disaster Tolerance

This paper proposes a new approach for achieving disaster tolerance in large, geographically-distributed storage systems. The system, called Myriad, can achieve the same level of disaster tolerance as a typical single mirrored solution, but uses considerably fewer physical resources, by employing cross-site checksums (via erasure codes) instead of direct replication. The key technical contribut...
