The future of extreme-scale computing is expected to magnify the influence of soft faults as a source of inaccuracy or failure in solutions obtained from distributed parallel computations. The development of resilient computational tools represents an essential recourse for understanding the best methods for absorbing the impacts of soft faults without sacrificing solution accuracy. The Rexsss ...

This article addresses the issue of developing designs resilient hydrological infrastructures for cities facing sea level rise in Anthropocene. It undertakes short case studies differently scaled cities, three Global North and South. The aim is to investigate current water management situations order reveal potentials increased urban environmental resilience. Cities are approached as complex ad...

Abstract: We present an overview of the IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) protocol standard for metropolitan area networks. We discuss the main characteristics of the protocol and the main drivers for its development. We outline various aspects of the protocol: architecture and operation principles, physical layer, packet formats, the MAC protocol and its fairness, protection switching an...

Redundancy is a fundamental characteristic of many biological processes such as those in the genetic, visual, muscular and nervous system; yet its function has not been fully understood. The conventional interpretation of redundancy is that it serves as a faulttolerance mechanism, which leads to redundancy’s de facto application in man-made systems for reliability enhancement. On the contrary, ...
