There are many applications in which the reliability of the overall system must be far higher than the reliability of its individual components. In such cases, designers devise mechanisms and architectures that allow the system to either completely
Election algorithms arewidely used in the primary-backup replication, and ithas been proved to be harder than the con- sensus problem. In this paper, the relation between the election problem and the consensus problem is analysed, and a new fault- t
Distribution companies in the UK are under considerable pressure by the regulator OFGEM to improve the reliability of their network and the quality of electricity supply service. These objectives could be achieved by building new substations and cir
For the improvement of reliability, safety and efficiency advanced methods of supervision, fault-detection and fault diagnosis become increasingly important formany technical processes. This holds especially for safety related processes like aircraft
