Facing Up to Faults
نویسنده
چکیده
As individuals, organisations and indeed the world at large have become more dependent on computer-based systems, so there has been an ever-growing amount of research into means for improving the dependability of these systems. In particular there has been much work on trying to gain increased understanding of the many and varied types of faults that need to be prevented or tolerated in order to reduce the probability and severity of system failures. In this talk I discuss the assumptions that are often made by computing system designers regarding faults, survey a number of continuing issues related to fault tolerance, and identify some of the latest challenges facing researchers in this arena.

The facing of faults
It is proposed that the usage of the term structural facing be extended to include fault structures. Fault facing is defined as the direction in a fault plane which is at right angles to the trace of the bedding and is directed towards the younger beds. Certain types of faulted structures are found to have diagnostic patterns of facing variation.
متن کاملGeomorphic and structural assessment of active tectonics in NW Alborz
Alborz Mountains is a region of active deformation within Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. The study fault system in western Alborz comprises abundant evidence of active faulting accompanied by occurrence of historical earthquakes. Active tectonics of Manjil-Rudbar fault zone whose movement caused destructive 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake was concentrated in this article through geomorphic and st...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Flux Treatment in Solving Incompressible Flow in a Forward-Facing Step
The aim of this paper is to give a detailed effect of several parameters such as step height, Reynolds number, contraction ratio, and temperature difference between the entrance and solid boundaries, of a forward-facing step. An accurate length of separation and reattachment zones are achieved. A finite-volume method (FVM) has been developed to study incompressible flow in a forward-facing step...
متن کاملتحلیل فضایی آسیبپذیری سکونتگاههای شهری و روستایی در برابر مخاطره زلزله مطالعه موردی: استان گیلان
The field of natural hazards research has a rich history in geography, appropriately so because it involves conflicts between physical processes and human systems. Natural events occur without direct human effect and endanger his social life. Events that enforce average annual up to 150000 human damages and more than 140 milliard dollars financial damages on counties and especially developing c...
متن کاملAn Intelligent Protection Method for Multi-terminal DC Microgrids Using On-line Phaselet, Mathematical Morphology, and Fuzzy Inference Systems
In this paper, a new method for fault detection, location, and classification in multi-terminal DC microgrid (MTDC) is proposed. MTDC grids have expanded due to some issues such as the expansion of DC resources, loads, and aims to increase power quality. Diagnosing the types and location of faults is important to continue the service and prevent further outages. In this method, a circuit kit is...
