Redundancy and Subsumption in High-Level Replacement Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
System verification in the broadest sense deals with those semantic properties that can be decided or deduced by analyzing a syntactical description of the system. Hence, one may consider the notions of redundancy and subsumption in this context as they are known from the area of rule-based systems. A rule is redundant if it can be removed without affecting the semantics of the system; it is subsumed by another rule if each application of the former one can be replaced by an application of the latter one with the same effect. In this paper, redundancy and subsumption are carried over from rule-based systems to high-level replacement systems, which in turn generalize graph and hypergraph grammars. The main results presented in this paper are a characterization of subsumption and a sufficient condition for redundancy, which involves composite productions.

Reliability Optimization for Complicated Systems with a Choice of Redundancy Strategies (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Redundancy allocation is one of the common techniques to increase the reliability of the bridge systems. Many studies on the general redundancy allocation problems assume that the redundancy strategy for each subsystem is predetermined and fixed. In general, active redundancy has received more attention in the past. However, in real world, a particular system design contains both active and col...

A redundancy allocation problem (RAP) is a well-known NP-hard problem that involves the selection of elements and redundancy levels to maximize the system reliability under various system-level constraints. In many practical design situations, reliability apportionment is complicated because of the presence of several conflicting objectives that cannot be combined into a single-objective functi...

This paper proposes an efficient algorithm based on memetic algorithm (MA) for a redundancy allocation problem without component mixing (RAPCM) in a series-parallel system when the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. Majority of the solution methods for the general RAPCM assume that the type of a redundancy strategy for each subsystem is pre-determined and known a prior...
