Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is the most popular model to facilitate the building of distributed programs. However, it only provides a restricted availability of update operations and does not support fault-tolerant. The combination of RPC and data replication techniques has been developed to support fault-tolerant from Remote Procedure Call (RPC). However, different data replication techniques ...

PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL PDCL Abstract The connectivity and fault tolerance measures of various interconnection networks assume that all the neighboring nodes of any node could be faulty at the same time. The forbidden faulty set analysis of restricted connectivity and fault tolerance assumes that a set of nodes cannot be fau...

A general fault model on alternative graphs (AG) was developed to cover traditional functional and gate-level fault models for digital systems. The advantage of the new approach is that a uniform fault activating procedures on AG-s are applicable for different types of traditional faults. Also, it is not needed to represent functional faults explicitly by fault lists, the faults can be derived ...

We investigate whether a shallow-dipping thrust fault is prone to waveslip interactions via surface-reflected waves affecting the dynamic slip. If so, can these interactions create faults that are opaque to radiated energy? Furthermore, in this case of a shallow-dipping thrust fault, can incorrectly assuming a transparent fault while using dislocation theory lead to underestimates of seismic mo...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t System failures, for example in electrical power systems, can have catastrophic impact on human life and high-cost missions. Due to an electrical fire in Swissair flight 111 on September 2, 1998, all 229 passengers and crew on board sadly lost their lives. A battery failure most likely took place on the Mars Global Surveyor, which unfortunately last communi...

studying active faults behavior for earthquake prediction and recognition is a concentrated subject in earth science. precise measurements of earthsurface deformation by geodetic observation provide a good reference for studying different geodynamic phenomena.  applying geodetic measurements in postseismic and interseismic intervals is an important tool for estimating strain accumulation and rh...

The power domination problem is to find a minimum placement of phase measurement units (PMUs) for observing the whole electric power system, which is closely related to the classical domination problem in graphs. For a graph G = (V , E), the power domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a set S ⊆ V such that PMUs placed on every vertex of S results in all of V being observed. A ver...

Fault diagnosis in the presence of noise and model errors is of fundamental importance. In the paper, the meaning of fault isolation performance is formalized by using the established notion of coverage and false coverage from the field of statistics. Then formal relations describing the relationship between fault isolation performance and the residual related design parameters are derived. For...
