This paper proposed an observer based fault-tolerant control approach for the fuzzy T-S systems with sensors and actuators faults. By establishing the actuator fault and sensor fault models, an observer based fuzzy output feedback fault tolerant controller is developed and new stabilization conditions of the fuzzy fault tolerant control systems are given, which are formulated in terms of linear...

In this paper, we deal with two important issues in relation to modular reconfigurable manipulators, namely, the determination of the modular assembly configuration optimally suited to perform a specific task and the synthesis of fault tolerant systems. We present a numerical approach yielding an assembly configuration that satisfies four kinematic task requirements: reachability, joint limits,...

As technology shifts from centralized computing to distributed computing and then to ubiquitous computing, the users are more dependent on the computer system for task delegation. Here autonomous agent and Multi Agent System (MAS) plays an important role to perform the task delegated by the user. As the fault in MAS is not-deterministic in nature, so designing fault tolerant MAS is a challengin...

We present a framework that facilitates synthesis and validation of fail-safe fault-tolerant programs. Starting from a fault-intolerant program, with safety specification SS, that satisfies its specification in the absence of faults, we present an approach that automatically transforms it into a fail-safe fault-tolerant program, through the addition of a class of detectors termed as SS-globally...

This paper presents a fault tolerant extension to our CANCORBA design. The CAN-CORBA is an environment speci c CORBA we designed for distributed embedded control systems built on the CAN bus. We extend it for fault tolerance by adopting passive and active replication strategies mandated by the OMG fault tolerant CORBA draft standard. To reduce resource demands of these fault tolerance features,...

High performance computing platforms like Clusters, Grid and Desktop Grids are becoming larger and subject to more frequent failures. MPI is one of the most used message passing library in HPC applications. These two trends raise the need for fault tolerant MPI. The MPICH-V project focuses on designing, implementing and comparing several automatic fault tolerance protocols for MPI applications....

While conventional learning theory focus on training a neural network to attain good generalization, fault tolerant learning aims at training a neural network to attain acceptable generalization even if network fault might appear in the future. This paper presents an extensive survey on the previous work done on fault tolerant learning. Those analytical works that have been reported in the lite...

Runtime verification (RV) is a natural fit for ultra-critical systems, where correctness is imperative. In ultra-critical systems, even if the software is fault-free, because of the inherent unreliability of commodity hardware and the adversity of operational environments, processing units (and their hosted software) are replicated, and fault-tolerant algorithms are used to compare the outputs....

In this paper, we present an approach for fault-tolerant synthesis by combining predefined patterns for fault-tolerance with algorithmic game solving. A non-fault-tolerant system, together with the relevant fault hypothesis and faulttolerant mechanism templates in a pool are translated into a distributed game, and we perform an incomplete search of strategies to cope with undecidability. The re...
