Gordon, J.M., Analysis of minimal path routing schemes in the presence of faults, Discrete Applied Mathematics 37138 (1992) 245-263. The design and analysis of fault tolerant message routing schemes for large paraIIe1 systems has been the focus of much recent research. In this paper, we present a framework for the analysis of routing schemes in distributed memory multiprocessor systems containi...

failures and contradictions of life cause confusion and disrupt personality structure of ego. under such conditions, human psychological defense system is activated to overcome anxiety which threats the ego and to recover one's calmness. seyyed qotb and shahriar have also infected by anxiety and unfavorable excitements in their lives, because of individual, social, political,…, factors. si...

In this paper a stochastic model for a Base Transceiver System (BTS) is proposed transceiver station (BTS) is the most important networking component of mobile communication system from which all signals are sent and received having both hardware and software components. The hardware and software c may have various types of major and minor faults. The aspect of hardware software interaction fai...

The reliability of power electronic devices and components is very important to manufacturers. In recent years, many researchers have conducted reliability assessments of power electronic devices, yet the reliability of numerous circuits used widely has not been evaluated. This paper presents a comprehensive reliability evaluation of fundamental multilevel inverters. The reliability of the mult...

The present investigation presents a stochastic model for a flexible manufacturing system consisting of flexible machine, loading/unloading robot and an automated pallethandling device. We consider unreliable flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) wherein machine and robot operate under individual as well as common cause random failures. The pallethandling system is completely reliable. The pallet o...

Large-scale distributed systems are prone to frequent failures, which could be caused by a variety of factors related to network, hardware, and software problems. Any downtime due to failures, whatever the cause, can lead to large disruptions and huge losses. Identifying the location and cause of a failure is critical for the reliability and availability of such systems. However, identifying th...

ISPs manage performance of their networks in the presence of failures or congestion by employing common traffic engineering techniques such as link weight settings, load balancing and routing policies. Overlay networks attempt to take control over routing in the hope that they might achieve better performance for such failures or high load episodes. In this paper, we examine some of the interac...

Fault tolerance based on passive replication is common in many systems. If this kind of fault tolerance mechanism is to be used in a real-time system, timing analysis is necessary, as the fault tolerance mechanism itself may cause timing faults. There are different ways of detecting when the primary replica has failed, one of them is to use a timeout to detect crash and omission failures, anoth...

Research on future energy systems shows that an electricity network is often tolerant to failures but may collapse after encountering a certain number of failures that take place within a short period of time. The smart grid is the upcoming generation of electricity networks. Challenges faced in the smart grid include prompt, reliable, and informative alarm processing to detect the points of fa...

A challenge in multiagent control systems is to ensure that they are appropriately resilient to communication failures between the various agents. In many common game-theoretic formulations of these types of systems, it is implicitly assumed that all agents have access to as much information about other agents’ actions as needed. This paper endeavors to augment these game-theoretic methods with...
