In the paper, a communication infrastructure for faulttolerant embedded control system is discussed. It was developed as a part of experimental platform of the IFATIS project within the 5th European Union framework programme, dealing with dependable, reconfigurable integrated control systems. In such environments, a reliable and robust physical interconnection is required. The communication is ...

[1] We use data from campaign and continuous GPS sites in southeast Alaska and the neighboring region of Canada to constrain a regional tectonic block model that estimates block angular velocities and derives a self‐consistent set of fault slip rates from the block motions. Present‐day tectonics in southeast Alaska is strongly influenced by the collision of the Yakutat block. Our model predicts...

the zagros fold- thrust belt as a part of alpine- himalayan orogenic belt, is one of the most active continental collision zones on the earth, which extends from the tarus mountains in south eastern turkey to the minab fault in the east of the strait of hormoz in southern iran. structurally, its formation is related to the continuing convergent movement between the arabian plate to the southwes...

This paper presents how and why to unify load sharing and fault tolerance facilities. A realization of a fault tolerant load sharing facility, GATOSTAR, is presented and discussed. It is based on the integration of two applications developed on top of Unix: GATOS and STAR. GATOS is a load sharing manager which automatically distributes parallel applications among heterogeneous hosts according t...

Diagnostics of synchronous generator turn-to-turn faults can be accomplished by analyzing the anomalies of machine local variable such as magnetic flux linkage. On the other hand, because current transformers and voltage transformers are usually installed in the machine for different purposes as default, the monitoring schemes that depend on the study of these inputs have become a topic of inte...

MPI is one of the most adopted programming models for Large Clusters and Grid deployments. However, these systems often suffer from network or node failures. This raises the issue of selecting a fault tolerance approach for MPI. Automatic and transparent ones are based on either coordinated checkpointing or message logging associated with uncoordinated checkpoint. They are many protocols, imple...

The high integration of (sub-) systems performing safety critical automotive functions characterizes the current development in the automotive industry. The development and analysis is challenged by an increasing complexity resulting from product customization and variance in implementations by software-hardware solutions. In order to save costs for such scenarios, a systematic analysis of the ...
