Failures would occur because of the hostile nature environment in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) which is deployed randomly. Therefore, considering faults in WSNs is essential when we design WSN. This paper classified fault model in the sensor node. Especially, this paper proposed new error correcting code scheme and fault recovery algorithm in the CH(Cluster Head) node. For the range of the small size information (<16), the parity size of the proposed code scheme has the same parity length compared with the Hamming code, and it has a benefit to generate code word very simple way. This is very essential to maintain reliability in WSN with increase power efficiency.

In this paper, fault tolerant mechanisms are presented for a servo manipulator system designed to operate in a hot cell. A hot cell is a sealed and shielded room to handle radioactive materials, and it is dangerous for people to work in the hot cell. So, remote operations are necessary to handle the radioactive materials in the hot cell. KAERI has developed a servo manipulator system to perform such remote operations. However, since electric components such as servo motors are weakened with radiation, fault tolerant mechanisms have to be considered. For fault tolerance of the servo manipulator system, hardware and software redundancy has been considered. In the case of hardware, radioactive resistant electric components such as cables and connectors have been adopted and motors driving a transport have been duplicated. In case of software, a reconfiguration algorithm accommodating one motor's failure has been developed. The algorithm uses redundant axes to recover the end effector's motion in spite of one motor's failure.

This paper proposes an advanced detection technique for cable fault by eliminating the sign of reference signal in STDR(sequence time-domain reflectometry) and SSTDR(spread-spectrum time-domain reflectometry). The proposed fault-detection technique can eliminate the reference signal more effectively than the conventional one since the sign detector can approximately recover the distorted reference signal by cable and connector, and consequently, can detect the reflected signal by fault more effectively than the conventional one. Especially, it is shown that the error rate of proposed technique can be significantly lower than the conventional one in the case of far fault simulation.

SRAM-based FPGAs are very sensitive to single event upset(SEU) induced by space irradiation. To mitigate SEU effects, space applications employ some mitigation schemes. The triple modular redundancy(TMR) is a well-known mitigation scheme. It uses one or three voters as well as three identical blocks performing the same work. The voters can mask out one error in the outputs from the three replicated blocks. One SEU error in TMRed circuits can be masked but it needs to be detected for some reasons such as to analyze the SEU effects in the satellite or to recover the circuits from the error before additional error occur. In this paper, we developed a fault detection circuit and reporting system to detect a fault on the TMRed circuits. To verify our error detection circuit and reporting circuit, we performed an irradiation test at MC-50 Cyclotron. Experimental results showed that error detection circuit can detect a fault on the TMRed test circuit in radiation environment.

In this paper, we design and implement a task scheduler that considers real-time and fault tolerance in embedded system with a single processor. We propose a method how it can meet the deadlines of periodic tasks using RMS and complete the execution of aperiodic tasks by calculating surplus times from a periodic task set. And we describe a method how to recover of a transient fault task by managing backup time. We propose an important level of periodic tasks that can control the response time of periodic and aperiodic tasks. Finally, we analyse and evaluate the proposed methods by simulation.

With the enlargement of wireless technology, vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are rising as a hopeful way to realize smart cities and address a lot of vital transportation problems such as road security, convenience, and efficiency. To achieve data confidentiality, integrity and authentication applying lightweight cryptosystems is widely recognized as a rather efficient approach for the VANETs. The Khudra cipher is such a lightweight cryptosystem with a typical Generalized Feistel Network, and supports 80-bit secret key. Up to now, little research of fault analysis has been devoted to attacking Khudra. On the basis of the single nibble-oriented fault model, we propose a differential fault analysis on Khudra. The attack can recover its 80-bit secret key by introducing only 2 faults. The results in this study will provides vital references for the security evaluations of other lightweight ciphers in the VANETs.

In this paper, we propose a differential fault analysis on symmetric SPN block cipher with bitslice involution S-box in 2011. The target block cipher was designed using AES block cipher and has advantage about restricted hardware and software environment using the same structure in encryption and decryption. Therefore, the target block cipher must be secure for the side-channel attacks. However, to recover the 128-bit secret key of the targer block cipher, this attack requires only one random byte fault and an exhausted search of $2^8$. This is the first known cryptanalytic result on the target block cipher.

We propose a new multipath-based reliable routing protocol on MANETs, Multipath-based Reliable routing protocol with Fast-Recovery of failures (MRFR). For reliable message transmission, MRFR tries to find the most reliable path between a source and a destination considering the end-to-end packet reception reliability of the routes. The established path consists of a primary path that is used to transmit messages, and the secondary paths that are used to recover the path when detecting failures on the primary path. After establishing the path, the source transmits messages through the primary path. If a node detects a link failure during message transmission, it can recover the path locally by switching from the primary to the secondary path. By allowing the intermediate nodes to locally recover the route failure, the proposed protocol can handle the dynamic topological change of the MANETs efficiently. The simulation result using the QualNet simulator shows that the MRFR protocol performs better than other protocols in terms of the end-to-end message delivery ratio and fault-tolerance capability.

Recently, proportion of the induction motor load is gradually increased. When a contingency in the power systems, it has been discovered phenomenon that the voltage is delayed recover caused mechanical characteristics of the induction motor load. It can be a serious impact on the voltage stability of the power system considering induction motor load. The scheme to mitigate this phenomenon tripping off the motors to prevent voltage drop and delayed voltage recovery on the load demand side. Fault induced delayed voltage recovery phenomenon is caused by stalling of small induction motor load in transmission level contingencies. In this paper, fault induced delayed voltage recovery phenomenon mitigation method implementation under voltage load shedding on the korean power system considering induction motor load.
