A variable structure control (VSC) based model following control system that possesses fault detection and isolation (FDI) capability as well as fault tolerance property is proposed. The nonlinear part of the proposed control law. whose magnitude is determined by sliding variables, plays the role of suppressing fault effect. Thus, approximate fault reconstruction is also possible via the analysis of sliding variables. The proposed algorithm is applied to an active suspension system of pound vehicles to verify its applicability.

시스템의 좋고 나쁨의 구별에 결정적인 역할을 하는 신뢰성에 대하여 설명하였다. 신뢰성은 단순히 정확성보다는 결함포용성에 의존함이 크며 주 통제 및 제어장치가 컴퓨터인 시스템에 있어서는 설계시에 Software에서의 결함포용설계의 중요성을 강조하였다. 결함포용설계의 일반적인 방법과 주요부분의 이중화에 대하여 컴퓨터의 이중화방식과 이중화의 장단점을 살펴보고, 결함포용설계의 한 예로써 GTK-500 EPABX를 설명하였다.

The OPRoS (Open Platform for Robotic Services) framework is proposed as an application runtime environment for service robot systems. For the successful deployment of the OPRoS framework, fault tolerance support is crucial on top of its basic functionalities of lifecycle, thread and connection management. In the previous work [1] on OPRoS fault tolerance supports, we presented a framework-based fault tolerance architecture. In this paper, we extend the architecture with component-based fault tolerance techniques, which can provide more simplicity and efficiency than the pure framework-based approach. This argument is especially true for fault detection, since most faults and failure can be defined when the system cannot meet the requirement of the application functions. Specifically, the paper applies two widely-used fault detection techniques to the OPRoS framework: 'bridge component' and 'process model' component techniques for fault detection. The application details and performance of the proposed techniques are demonstrated by the same application scenario in [1]. The combination of component-based techniques with the framework-based architecture would improve the reliability of robot systems using the OPRoS framework.

As many systems depend on electronics in an intelligent vehicle, concern for fault tolerance is growing rapidly. For example, a car with its braking controlled by electronics and no mechanical linkage from brake pedal to calipers of front tires(brake-by-wire system) should be fault tolerant because a failure can come without any warning and its effect is devastating. In general, fault tolerance is usually designed by placing redundant components that duplicate the functions of the original module. In this way a fault can be isolated, and safe operation is guaranteed by replacing the faulty module with its redundant and normal module within a predefined interval. In order to make in-vehicle network fault tolerant, this paper presents the concept and design methodology of an IEEE 1451 based dual CAN module. In addition, feasibility of the dual CAN network was evaluated by implementing the dual CAN module.

This paper proposes a fault detection and recovery mechanism for a fault-tolerant Mini-MAP system, and provides detailed techniques for its implementation. This paper considers the fault-tolerant Mini-MAP system which has dual layer structure from the LLC sublayer down to the physical layer to cope with the faults of those layers. For a good fault detection, a redundant and hierarchical fault supervision architecture is proposed and its implementation technique for a stable detection operation is provided. Information for the fault location is provided from data reported with a fault detection and obtained by an additional network diagnosis. The faults are recovered by the stand-by sparing method applied for a dual network composed of two equivalent networks. A network switch mechanism is proposed to achieve a reliable and stable network function. A fault-tolerant Mini-MAP system is implemented by applying the proposed fault detection and recovery mechanism.

항공전자 시스템은 중요한 임무를 수행하는 다양한 전자 장치들로 구성되어지며 항공기의 성능을 위해 전자 장치의 수가 점차적으로 증가되고 있다. 이에 따라 개발 비용, 유지보수 비용, 운영비용 등이 증가되었고, 이를 해결하기 위해 항공전자 시스템의 기술 패러다임은 시스템을 독립적으로 관리하는 연방형 항공전자(Federated Avionics) 시스템에서 모듈 통합형 항공전자(IMA: Integrated Modular Avionics) 시스템으로 발전하고 있다. 모듈 통합형 항공전자 시스템은 연방형 시스템과는 달리 항공기의 각 기능들을 IMA 시스템에서 통합 처리하기 때문에 fault 발생 시 시스템 운용에 큰 영향을 미치게 되므로 고장 허용 기술이 필수 사항으로 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ARINC 653 기반의 모듈 통합형 항공전자 시스템에서 발생할 수 있는 fault를 정의하고 fault 발생 시 시스템이 지속적으로 정상 동작할 수 있도록 고장 허용 기법 설계 및 ARINC 653 표준에 따른 HM(Health Monitoring) 시스템 설계 방법을 제안한다.

This paper is to discuss the hardware redundancy architecture of fault-tolerance system with using redundancy. Each architecture will be studied to implement fault-tolerance in classifying hardware redundancy architecture as passive, active and hybrid hardware redundancy. Therefore Fault-Masking and Fault-Detecting Techniques in each redundancy architecture is studied.

본 논문에서는 fault tolerant 하드웨어에서 가장 기본이 되는 온라인 하드웨어 테스트 시스템 구현을 위하여 새로운 인공면역 알고리즘을 제안한다. 인공 면역 알고리즘은 알려진 자기(self) 정보만을 이용하여 항체 즉 tolerance condition을 가장 최적으로 생성하는 알고리즘이다. 이를 위하여 본 논문에서는 생체 면역 시스템의 중요한 원리인 antibody diversity 원리를 적용한 새로운 tolerance condition 생성 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 생체 면역 시스템에서의 중요한 세포인 APC (Antigen Presenting Cell)를 Quine-McCluskey 방법으로 구현한 후 유전자 알고리즘을 통해 tolerance condition을 자동 생성하는 알고리즘을 구현한다. 이렇게 제안된 알고리즘은 FSM(Finite State Machine)의 가장 전형적인 예인 십진카운터에 적용한 후 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통해 그 성능을 확인한다.

In this paper, a design method of fault-tolerance is presented for the nuclear digital control systems composed of software and hardware. As a quantitative design method measure of fault-tolerance, we used Reliability, Availability and Safety. To implement the proposed fault-tolerance, a prototype system has been devised for the digital control systems and a quantitative method of 'Markovian Model' is applied. The results provide the appropriate degree of redundancy and diversity, and fail-safe.

Whereas fault diagnosis has been the subject of intensive research since the 1970s, the design of fault tolerant systems is a recent research field which does not set its foundations in a unified framework and does not use a unified vocabulary. As a contribution to this special issue, this paper proposes an ontology for the problem of Fault Handling, that embeds the problem of Fault Tolerance.
