Defects cause faulty static logic behaviour, faulty dynamic logic behaviour and elevated I DDQ levels. Recent empirical and simulation studies show that adding at speed tests to test suites detects defective ICs missed by slow speed and I DDQ tests. Delay tests for path delay faults and transition tests are two classes of tests that are often used for isolating ICs with faulty dynamic logic beh...

This paper investigates system safety within a control perspective. We adopt model predictive control for our safety investigation and consider a microgrid system as case study. We study the satisfaction of consumer demands under different faulty scenarios, and different controllability and observability conditions. By simulations, we show the feasibility of investigating safety in relation to ...

A model is developed that allows simulating the most-likely failures possibly occurring in freecooling (FC) systems of telecommunication (TLC) switching rooms. Main aim to provide an effective and online implementable diagnosis method, which turn will allow fulfilling threefold function safeguarding electronic equipment, ensuring desired air quality case human presence reducing malfunction-rela...

Embedding is of great importance in the applications of parallel computing. Every parallel application has its intrinsic communication pattern. The communication pattern graph is mapped onto the topology of multiprocessor structures so that the corresponding application can be executed. To increase the reliability of parallel applications, fault-tolerant embedding is necessary. In this paper, w...

In this paper, we consider an injured star graph with some faulty links and nodes. We show that even with fe n 3 faulty links a Hamiltonian cycle still can be found in an nstar, and that with fv n 3 faulty nodes a ring containing at most 4fv nodes less than that in a Hamiltonian cycle can be found (i.e., containing at leastn! 4fv nodes). In general, in an n-star with fe faulty links and fv faul...

This paper investigates self-organizing binary majority consensus disturbed by 1 faulty nodes with random and persistent failure. We study consensus in ordered and random 2 networks with noise, message loss, and delays. Using computer simulations, we show that: 3 (a) explicit randomization by noise, message loss, and topology can increase robustness 4 towards faulty nodes, (b) commonly-used fau...

This article presents a novel approach to the diagnosis of unbalanced faults in a trolling motor under stationary operating conditions. The trolling motor being typically of that used as the propulsion system for an unmanned surface vehicle, the diagnosis approach is based on the use of discrete wavelet transforms as a feature extraction tool and a time-delayed neural network for fault classifi...

In this paper we present how to reconfigure dynamically a complete binary tree in faulty hypercubes. First, we use a dynamic algorithm to reconfigure a complete binary tree of height h (h≥0) in an (h+1)-dimensional faulty hypercube. If there is a faulty node in the hypercube, both the dilation and congestion are 2 after reconfiguration. If there are two faulty nodes in the hypercube, both the d...
