In this study, injection velocity in injection molding process was analyzed. Since physical behavior of thermoplastic and environmental condition in injection machine such as high temperature and pressure make a complex dynamics in injection molding system, the injection velocity is consequently difficult to control by some classical control methods. Hence, robust and adaptive control (Fuzzy Sl...

Resilient computation has been an emerging topic in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) for several years. In particular, studies show that tolerating faults on leadershipclass supercomputers (such as exascale supercomputers) is expected to be one of the main challenges. In this paper, we utilize dynamic binary instrumentation and virtual machine based fault injection to emulate soft ...

Human error while performing well-learned tasks on a computer is an infrequent, but pervasive problem. Such errors are often attributed to memory deficits, such as loss of activation or interference with other tasks (Altmann & Trafton, 2002). We are arguing that this view neglects the role of the environment. As embodied beings, humans make extensive use of external cues during the planning and...

A longitudinal study of 27 patients with infantile haemangiomas is reported. It confirmed the efficacy of local steroid injection as a method of treatment; 81.5% of patients showed a marked improvement, with the lesion reducing to 25% or less of its original size. Involution was most marked in the first two weeks but continued for up to four months after injection. Amblyopia was present in 43% ...

This paper investigates the behavior of the IEEE 1394 bus in the presence of transient errors in the hardware layers of the protocol. Software-implemented error injection is used to introduce errors into the internals of the 1394 bus hardware chipset. Results from this study indicate that the IEEE 1394 bus protocol provides robust network communication in the presence of single-bit errors in th...

Fault injection deals with the insertion or simulation of faults in order to test the robustness and fault tolerance of a software application [8]. Such measures are generally performed on software that is mission critical, to the extent that failure could have significant negative ramifications. Actual injection of faults can be performed either at compile time, when additional code is inserte...

This paper considers the representativeness of injected error models for ascertaining software defects. Businessand safety-critical systems are more and more relying on software. Therefore, while in the past these systems were mainly threatened by hardware faults, they are today increasingly exposed to software faults, as demonstrated by recent severe software-related accidents [WDS10]. It is a...

Cryptographic devices suffer from fault injection attacks. The security of crypto-systems protected by traditional error detecting codes rely on the assumption that the information bits and the error patterns are not both controllable by the attacker. For applications where the assumption is not valid, the security of systems protected by traditional error detecting codes can be easily compromi...
