Grid Computing allows coordinated and controlled resource sharing and problem solving in multi-institutional, dynamic virtual organizations. Moreover, fault tolerance and task scheduling is an important issue for large scale computational grid because of its unreliable nature of grid resources. Commonly exploited techniques to realize fault tolerance is periodic Checkpointing that periodically ...

society is growing increasingly dependent upon large-scale, highly distributed systems that operate in unbounded open network environments. unless safeguards are incorporated in the system, a failure of even a single component, e.g. a link or a node, can significantly impact the network performance and can cause highly expensive damages. the discipline of survivability attempts to ensure that n...

Emerging safety analysis techniques use composition of failure models or fault simulation in formal models of a system to determine relationships between the causes and effects of failure. Most recent work has focused on developing system modelling and algorithms for automatic safety analysis. However, little work has focused on developing principles to improve reuse of safety analyses in the c...

the failure mode and effects analysis (fmea) is a widely used analytical technique that helps to identify and reduce the risks of failure in a system, component, or process. one important issue of fmea is the determination of the risk priorities of failure modes. risk ranking is produced in order to prioritize the focus on each of the failure modes that are identified. in this study, we applied...

Fielded mobile robot systems will inevitably suffer hardware and software failures. Failures in a single subsystem can often disable the entire robot, especially if the controlling application does not consider such failures. Often simple measures, such as a software restart or the use of a secondary sensor, can solve the problem. However, these fixes must generally be applied by a human expert...

The large aircraft engine fault diagnosis in the problem of accurate. General components with different, large aircraft engine structure and its complex, the work in higher frequency failure, failure appear in a relatively short time, and it is difficult to retrieval, leading to establish the connection between the fault occurs when the connection breaks. The traditional fault detection method ...

This paper is concerned with the on-line health monitoring and damage assessment for structural and mechanical systems which are often used to model the dynamics of flexible space structures and civil infrastructure systems. It is assumed that damages result in the reduction of structural stiffness and it is desired to identify these damages on-line. An adaptive detection/diagnostic observer is...

In order to solve effectively the problem of evaluating the wireless sensor network fault tolerance, this paper presents an evaluation index of the topological tolerance for failure node according to the ability of the topology keeping network connect and cover in case of existing failure nodes and establishes a quantitative evaluation model of topology fault tolerance according to semi-Markov ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of a large number of sensor nodes which are capable of sensing different environmental phenomena and sending the collected data to the base station or Sink. Since sensor nodes are made of cheap components and are deployed in remote and uncontrolled environments, they are prone to failure; thus, maintaining a network with its proper functions even when und...
