The goal of this internal report is to summarize the experiences with the fault injector based on the Unix ptrace function. It should be explained how to use the fault injector for special experiments and how to interpret the results. In the first chapter (" ptrace(2) Interface ") an overview on the facilities of the Unix ptrace interface is given to see what faults/errors may be simulated by t...

Robots developed from the 60’s to the present have been restricted to highly structured environments such as work cells or automated guided vehicles, primarily to avoid harmful interactions with humans. Next generation robots must function in unstructured environments. Such robots must be fault tolerant to sensor and manipulator failures, scalable in number of agents, and adaptable to different...

A proper support for multimedia communications transport has to provide fault tolerance capabilities such as the preservation of established connections in case of failures. While multi-homing addresses this issue, the currently available solution based in massive BGP route injection presents serious scalability limitations, since it contributes to the exponential growth of the BGP table size. ...

New three-dimensional (3-D) Vp and Vp/Vs models are determined for southern California using P and S-P travel times from local earthquakes and controlled sources. These models confirm existing tectonic interpretations and provide new insights into the configuration of geological structures at the Pacific-North America plate boundary. The models extend from the U.S.-Mexico border in the south to...

Once multihomed, an IPv6 site usually wants to engineer its interdomain traffic. We propose that IPv6 multihomed hosts inquire a so called “Name, Address and ROute System” (NAROS) to determine the source and destination addresses to use to contact a destination node. By selecting these addresses, the NAROS server roughly determines the routing. It thereby provides features like traffic engineer...

FOCUS ON EUROPEAN ECONOMIC INTEGRATION Q2/09 21 Slovakia, given that over the last few months the euro has appreciated substantially against a number of CESEE currencies. The accession negotiations with the EU candidate countries Croatia and Turkey have been proceeding. In the case of Croatia, negotiations are now ongoing in 22 out of 35 chapters and seven chapters have already been closed prov...

One of the fundamental problems in continental rift segmentation and propagation is how strain accommodated along large rift-bounding faults (border faults) since propagating border control expression zones, syn-rift depo-centers, long-term basin evolution. In Southern Malawi Rift, where previous studies on early-stage rifting only assessed fault structure from surficial topographic expression,...

The aim of this paper is to review and compare present European Indian grid code requirements imposed hybrid power plants (HPPs) combining wind, solar storage technologies. Since there are no codes specifically for HPPs, the will plant based on individual renewable technology in HPP. specifies ranges parameters inside which each national transmission system operators (TSO) has specify set (Dani...

T he Bight Basin is a major frontier basin of Jurassic–Cretaceous age, which is currently undergoing renewed exploration interest. Although only limited data is available for understanding the petroleum systems in the basin, several observations indicate that poor fault seal integrity may represent a key exploration risk. The presence of a paleo-oil column in the Jerboa-1 well, interpreted gas ...
