[1] The Vienna Basin at the transition between the Alpine and Carpathian belt hosts a number of large Pleistocene sub-basins forming along an active continental scale strike-slip fault (Vienna Basin strike-slip fault). We utilize first-order derivatives from industrial Bouguer gravity data to unravel the impacts of Pleistocene kinematics on the Vienna Basin and to compensate for the lack of nea...

A s fault-tolemne becomes common in everyday applications (like computerized automobile control) where cost of design and time-to-market me crucial factors, software mechanisms for the automatic design of faulttolemnt ASIC5 merit immediate attention. A straightforward replication of a design is ezpensiue. In this paper, we present a transformation-bosed approach to the high-level synthesis of f...

In this paper, a method of low power analog testing is proposed. In spite of having Oscillation Based Built in Self-Test methodology (OBIST), a look up table based (LUT) low power testing approach has been proposed to find out the faulty circuit and also to sort out the particular fault location in the circuit. In this paper an operational amplifier, which is the basic building block in the ana...

The aim of the international standard IEC 61508 is to provide a route whereby safety-related systems can be implemented using electrical or electronic or programmable electronic technology in such a way that an acceptable level of functional safety is achieved. The strategy of the standard is first to derive the safety requirements of the safety-related system from a hazard & risk analysis and ...

In the field of railway systems, there is a great interest to include the human factor in the risk analysis process. Indeed, a great number of accidents are consider to be triggered by the human factors interacting in the situation. Several attempts have been made to include human factors in safety analysis, but they generally attack the problem in a qualitative way. The choice of qualitative m...

As the technology of internet and multimedia processing is improving, IPTV has emerged as new revenue opportunities to network service providers. Network service providers have to consider both network and multimedia processing factors to guarantee adaptable network service level of IPTV service. In the view of network service customers, it is a good way to require network service providers to ...

In this paper, a non-dominated sorting based multi objective EA (MOEA), called Elitist non dominated sorting genetic algorithm (Elitist NSGA) has been presented for solving the fault section estimation problem in automated distribution systems, which alleviates the difficulties associated with conventional techniques of fault section estimation. Due to the presence of various conflicting object...

In this paper, we propose a fault management with fast rerouting restoration scheme in MPLS network. The proposed scheme finds out the root cause of the occurred fault, and provides differentiated service with guaranteed QoS (Quality of Service) according to the differentiated backup path options. It can provide various backup path options, such as 1:1, 1:N or M:N fast-reroute by NMS, and opera...

It has become well-established that software will never become bug-free, which has spurred research in mechanisms to contain faults and recover from them. Since such mechanisms deal with faults, fault injection is necessary to evaluate their effectiveness. However, little thought has been put into the question whether fault injection experiments faithfully represent the fault model designed by ...
