Conclusions In this paper, we investigate the availability requirement for the fault management server in high-availability communication systems. According to our study, we find that the availability of the fault management server does not need to be 99.999% in order to guarantee a 99.999% system availability as long as the fail-safe ratio (the probability that the failure of the fault managem...

faults in computer networks may result in millions of dollars in cost. faults in a network need to be localized and repaired to keep the health of the network. fault management systems are used to keep today’s complex networks running without significant cost, either by using active techniques or passive techniques. in this paper, we propose a novel approach based on imperialist competitive alg...

The purpose of this project is to extend and integrate existing results on fault diagnostics and fault management for passenger vehicles used in automated highway systems (AHS). These results have been combined to form a fault diagnostic and management system for the longitudinal control system of the automated vehicles which has a heirarchical framework that complements the established PATH co...

Fault management in distribution systems lacks effective solution because of the unavailability of sufficient measurement data and comprehensive tools for fault analysis. To improve fault management, a systematic approach that takes advantage of distribution-level Smart Grid technologies is proposed. The new approach executes very accurate fault locating first, and then advices system operators...

For failure prediction and information interaction problems of multi-equipment health management, fault prediction technology of multi-equipment and multi-parameter was proposed based on the system network. The state judgment and fault diagnosis algorithm is adopted by SOM self-organizing feature map neural network, the network parameters and node structure are changed adaptively, and the real-...

Network Management Systems have played a great important role in information systems. Management is very important and essential in any fields. There are many managements such as configuration management, fault management, performance management, security management, accounting management and etc. Among them, configuration, fault and security management is more important than others. Because th...

This paper presents an integrated system for intelligent control and fault management in thermal power plants. This modular system consists of fuzz logic based intelligent control fuzzy petri net based plant performance monitoring and soft computing based fault diagnosis. Finally, a fault management strategy is presented, which aims at increased up – time of the plant and enhanced safety of the...
