Purpose – The objective of this study is to enhance the usage of teleoperation fields, such as in nuclear site decommissioning or nuclear waste disposal, by designing a stable, dependable and fault-tolerant teleoperation system in the face of “extraordinary” conditions. These “extraordinary” conditions can be classified as variable time delays in communications lines, usage of different robotic...

This paper presents a model of fault-tolerant Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS), where each holon is a knowledge-based agent capable of solving distributed problems by applying production/assembly and information management services. Our multi-agent architecture provides robustness and distribution transparency within a shop-floor environment where unpredictable failures occur with machines, ...

The increasing size and complexity of software systems makes it hard to prevent orremove all possible faults. Faults that remain in the system can eventually lead toa system failure. Fault tolerance techniques are introduced for enabling systems torecover and continue operation when they are subject to faults. Many fault tolerancetechniques are available but incorporating them i...

This paper analyses the previous work done in the field of fault tolerant localization and tracking in wireless sensor network (WSN) using binary data. Many previous systems use only binary data for communication in the WSN in the area of fault tolerant localization and tracking. Fault tolerance is the property of wireless sensor nodes to accept the particular amount of fault in localization an...

We study adaptive fault-tolerant tracking control for uncertain linear systems. Based on recent results in funnel control, and the time-varying Byrnes-Isidori form, we develop a low-complexity model-free controller that achieves prescribed performance of error any given sufficiently smooth reference signal. Within considered system class, allow more inputs than outputs as long certain redundanc...

The immune system is a remarkable natural system that is proving to be of great inspiration to computer scientists and engineers alike. This paper discusses the role that the immune system can play in the development of fault tolerant embedded systems. Initial work in the area has highlighted the use of the immune process of negative selection, and more importantly the concept of self/nonself d...
