چکیده

We consider the problem of testing sequentially the components of a multi-component reliability system in order to figure out the state of the system via costly tests. In particular, systems with identical components are considered. The notion of lexicographically large binary decision trees is introduced and a heuristic algorithm based on that notion is proposed. The performance of the heuristic algorithm is demonstrated by computational results, for various classes of functions. In particular, in all 200 random cases where the underlying function is a threshold function, the proposed heuristic produces optimal solutions.

A scalarization-based method for multiple part-type scheduling of two-machine robotic systems with non-destructive testing technologies

This paper analyzes the performance of a robotic system with two machines in which machines are configured in a circular layout and produce non-identical parts repetitively. The non-destructive testing (NDT) is performed by a stationary robotic arm located in the center of the circle, or a cluster tool. The robotic arm integrates multiple tasks, mainly the NDT of the part and its transition bet...

Distance protection closed-loop testing using RTDS

This paper presents a distance protection test procedure by applying the Real-Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) of a power system. RTDS is a tool to design, develop, and test power-system protection. The RTDS enables real-time computation of electromagnetic phenomena with a calculation time step of even 50μs. The hardware allows the import and export of many signals from the simulator to an ext...

Identical and Nonidentical Synchronization of Hyperchaotic Systems by Active Backstepping Method

This paper focuses on the tracking and synchronization problems of hyperchaotic systems based on active backstepping method. The method consists of a recursive approach that interlaces the choice of a Lyapunov function with the design of feedback control. First, a nonlinear recursive active backstepping control vector is designed to track any desired trajectory in hyperchaotic Wang system. Furt...

RAIC: Architecting Dependable Systems through Redundancy and Just-In-Time Testing

Redundant Arrays of Independent Components (RAIC) is a technology that uses groups of similar or identical distributed components to provide dependable services. RAIC allows components in a redundant array to be added or removed dynamically during run-time, effectively making software components “hot-swappable” and thus achieves greater overall dependability. RAIC controllers use the just-in-ti...
