In Visible Light Communication (VLC) system, with the limitation of transmission range and Field Of View (FOV), LOS (Line of Sight) link between two transceivers should be guaranteed due to the straightness of the visible-light signal. Especially for indoor applications, link recovery is an advantage method to remain the link connection because of the link failure in which caused by movement obstacle. Link recovery schemes try to keep link dynamically without re-initialing connection. This article proposes a new link recover scheme for VLC system by using cooperative communication. Our propose scheme focuses on the QoS reservation resource by GTS in IEEE 802.15.7 specification in which the requested QoS resource from client should be guarantee during the application time. With the link recovery scheme, we will try to continue the link connection as long as possible when unexpected disconnect link. The mathematical analysis and simulation results show that proposed scheme increases the overall reliability of the VLC system.

With the fast growth of Internet and a new widespread interest in optical networks, the unparalleled potential of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is leading to further research and development efforts. One of those areas of research is Path Protection Mechanism. It is widely accepted that layer three protection and recovery mechanisms are too slow for today’s reliability requirements. Failure recovery latencies ranging from several seconds to minutes, for layer three routing protocols, have been widely reported. For this reason, a recovery mechanism at the MPLS layer capable of recovering from failed paths in 10’s of milliseconds has been sought. In light of this, several MPLS based protection mechanisms have been proposed, such as end-to-end path protection and local repair mechanism. Those mechanisms are designed for intra-domain recoveries and little or no attention has been given to the case of non-homogenous independent inter-domains. This paper presents a novel solution for the setup and maintenance of independent protection mechanisms within individual domains and merged at the domain boundaries. This innovative solution offers significant advantages including fast recovery across multiple nonhomogeneous domains and high scalability. Detailed setup and operation procedures are described. Finally, simulation results using OPNET are presented showing recovery times of a few milliseconds.

This study investigates the effect of seriousness and controllability of service failure on perceived fairness, reliability, satisfaction and loyalty of customers. The result of the study is as follows. First, it was expected that a control-attribute and a seriousness-attribute would have an negative(-) impact on perceived fairness-attribute; however, the result showed that both did not have an negative impact on it. Next, a fairness-attribute of a procedure had a significant effect on trust, and a fairness-attribute of interaction and a fairness-attribute of distribution had a significant effect on trust and satisfaction. Lastly, trust had a significant effect on satisfaction while satisfaction had a significant effect on loyalty. Based of the result of this study, food-service enterprises need to perform a fast process of a recovery to overcome service failure rather than confirming a control-attribute and a seriousness-attribute of service failure. Also, they should set up a process of the recovery in the order of trust, satisfaction, and loyalty and check if this process is promptly carried out.

In this paper we implemented a web-based performance monitoring system for web mail server. For this system we derived performance monitoring items and fixed its threshold values for each measuring items. We used the SCOM 2007 server monitoring tool for collecting the performance data of web mail server and Exchange server management pack and server monitoring rules of SCOM 2007 to set the performance analysis parameters. We implemented this performance monitoring system using C# programming based on the ASP.NET framework. This system supports web-based performance report, failure report and resource availability report from the performance analysis results. Therefore the manager can easily detect the failures of web mail server in advance and decrease the number of failure over 60%. Also this system helps manager to minimize the recovery time when the failure occurs.

For higher reliability against a link failure of a control network in railway vehicles, a recovery mechanism is needed. We introduce a problem that, when a link failure occurs in a ring-topology control network, a node may experience a significant increase of transmission delay depending on its relative position within the network. We then propose two mechanisms to solve this problem: (1) differentiating and prioritizing node traffic in forwarding; and (2) switching some nodes to a backup bus-topology network. Our simulation study shows that, while the first mechanism achieves a limited gain by only compensating queuing delay, the second one gets a sufficient gain which is impacted by the number of nodes switched to the bus network.

A hybrid safety injection tank (H-SIT) can enhance the capability of an advanced power reactor plus (APR+) during a station black out (SBO) that is accompanied by a severe accident. It may a useful alternative to an electric motor. The operations strategy of the H-SIT has to be investigated to achieve maximum utilization of its function. In this study, the master logic diagram (i.e., an analysis for identifying the differences between an H-SIT and a safety injection pump) and an accident case classification were used to determine the parameters of the H-SIT operation. The conditions that require the use of an H-SIT were determined using a decision-making process. The proper timing for using an H-SIT was also analyzed by using the Multi-dimensional Analysis of Reactor Safety (MARS) 1.3 code (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon, South Korea). The operation strategy analysis indicates that a H-SIT can mitigate five types of failure: (1) failure of the safety injection pump, (2) failure of the passive auxiliary feedwater system, (3) failure of the depressurization system, (4) failure of the shutdown cooling pump (SCP), and (5) failure of the recirculation system. The results of the MARS code demonstrate that the time allowed for recovery can be extended when using an H-SIT, compared with the same situation in which an H-SIT is not used. Based on the results, the use of an H-SIT is recommended, especially after the pilot-operated safety relief valve (POSRV) is opened.

This study was administered to demonstrate how unsatisfied customers would be influenced by the change in the quality of the service delivered to them after the dissatisfaction occurs. In light of the above, the objective of this study is to find out what leads to dissatisfaction in the minds of the consumers and also to identify the common behavioral patterns indicated by unsatisfied consumers. This study consists of two parts: a research based on the review of the literature and empirical study methods. As a result, a research for the popular forms of complaining patterns shows opportunities for restaurants to come up with measures to improve their service quality when customers are unsatisfied. In service recovery situation, distributive and interactional justice significantly influence customers' repurchase. Therefore, firms ought to offer monetary compensation, explain about the problems, and make their best efforts to recover the failure because the efforts also affect repurchase.

The feature of 6LoWPAN is the capability of the dynamic assignment of 16bit short addresses. By using this dynamically assigned short address, a hierarchical routing is employed. In case of node failure, this hierarchical routing don't support a technique for path recovery. So, this paper proposes the path recovery technique for hierarchical routing over 6LoWPAN.

This paper proposes a new integrated navigation system for a mobile robot in indoor environments. This system consists of five frameworks which are classified by function. This architecture can make the navigation system scalable and flexible. The robot can recover from exceptional situations, such as environmental changes, failure of entering the narrow path, and path occupation by moving objects, using the exception recovery framework. The environmental change can be dealt with using the probabilistic approach, and the problems with the narrow path and path occupation are solved using the ray casting algorithm and the Bayesian update rule. The proposed navigation system was successfully applied to several robots and operated in various environments. Experimental results showed good performance in that the exception recovery framework significantly increased the success rate of navigation. The system architecture proposed in this paper can reduce the time for developing robot applications through its reusability and changeability.
