최근에 네트워크 환경이 좋아지고 인터넷 사용이 급증함에 따라 이동 에이전트(Mobile Agent) 기술이 정보검색, 네트워크 관리 , 전자상거래, 병렬/분산처리 등의 분야에 널리 활용되고 있다. 이동 에이전트 시스템에서 전체 수행시간은 이동 에이전트의 코드 크기, 이동 에이전트의 데이터 크기 , 이동 에이전트의 전송 방법에 따라 좌우된다. 본 논문에서는 이동 에이전트 환경에 참여하는 모든 노드들에게 보다 빠르게 에이전트를 전송하는 방법들을 실험적으로 평가하고 에이전트 이동시 노드의 결함(Fault)이 발생할 때 그 해결방안을 연구한화. 에이전트 전송 및 결함 허용에 대한 성능평가는 IBM's Aglets Software Development Kit 환경을 이용하였다.

Communication Based Train Control System supports the easy maintenance ＆ management and also have the capability to send more informations than the existing one but is less expensive. Tolerance against fault/failure and reliable data transmission are very important issues with this system since it has the responsibility of man's safety. In this paper, we suggested the schemes to support the reliable transmission quality and fault safety. Also we verified through simulation.

In many fields of automation, increasingly high demands are being placed on the availability and fault tolerance of programmable logic controller(PLC). Particularly in fields where a plant shutdown would be extremely expensive. In such cases, only redundant systems can offer the standard of availability required. The redundant configurations contain more then would normally be necessary for the relevant function. Fault tolerant systems will normally continue to operate even if one or more faults cause parts of the control system to fail.

본 논문에서는 CORBA의 고장 감내(fault tolerance) 방식을 이용하여 교환기 시스템을 위한 객체 지향 실시간 운영체계상에서의 고장 감내 객체서비스 구현을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 먼저 CORBA의 고장 감내 방식을 분석하고, 전자 교환기에 적합한 실시간 고장 감내 방식에 대하여 제안한다. 이 방식에서는 교환기내의 이중화 시스템을 이용하여 객체 단위에서 고장 감내 기능을 제공하게 된다.

This paper proposes a novel level-shifted PWM (LS-PWM) strategy for fault tolerant cascaded multilevel inverter. Most proposed fault-tolerant operation methods in many of studies are based on a phase-shifted PWM (PS-PWM) method. To apply these methods to multilevel inverter systems using LS-PWM, two additional steps will be implemented. During the occurrence of a single-inverter-cell fault, the carrier bands scheme is reconfigured and modulation levels of inverter cells are reassigned in this proposed fault-tolerant operation. The proposed strategy performs balanced three-phase line-to-line voltages and line currents when a switching device fault occurs in a cascaded multilevel inverter using LS-PWM. Simulation and experimental results are included in the paper to verify the proposed method.

As many systems depend on electronics, concern for fault tolerance is growing rapidly. For example, a car with its steering controlled by electronics and no mechanical linkage from steering wheel to front tires(steer-by-wire) should be fault tolerant because a failure can come without any warning and its effect is devastating. In order to make system fault tolerant, there has been a body of research mainly from aerospace field. This paper presents the structure of predictive smoothing voter that can filter out most erroneous values and noise. In addition, several numerical simulation results are given where the predictive smoothing voter outperforms well-known average and median voters.

MOBAS는 규칙적인 모듈로 구성되어 있어 확장이 용이하며, VLSI 구현 시 고집적화 할 수 있고, 각 모듈간에 동기를 맞추기 쉬울 뿐 아니라, 단일 종류의 칩으로 중앙 스위치 구조를 구성할 수 있다. Modified MOBAS(Multicast Output Buffered ATM Switch)는 MOBAS와 유사한 구조를 가지지만 스위치 모듈(SM : Switch Module)의 구조에서 차이를 보이며 적은 스위치소자(SWE : Switch Element)를 사용한다. 위성 통신에서 스위치의 크기뿐 아니라 고장감내 특성도 스위치를 디자인하는데 필요한 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 Modified MOBAS의 고장 특성을 분석하고 이에 적합한 Detection 기법 및 Location 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 스위치 모듈구조를 변형하여 Modified MOBAS에 비해 약간의 스위치 소자를 더 사용하지만 MOBAS에 비해서는 적은 스위치 소자를 사용할 뿐 아니라, MOBAS와 같이 단일 고장 하에서 성능의 저하가 거의 없다.

The main function of a reactor protection system is to maintain the reactor core integrity and the reactor coolant system pressure boundary. Generally, the reactor protection system adopts the 2-out-of-m redundant architecture to assure a reliable operation. This paper describes the safety assessment of a digital reactor protection system using the fault tree analysis technique. The fault tree technique can be expressed in terms of combinations of the basic event failures such as the random hardware failures, common cause failures, operator errors, and the fault tolerance mechanisms implemented in the reactor protection system. In this paper, a prediction method of the hardware failure rate is suggested for a digital reactor protection system, and applied to the reactor protection system being developed in Korea to identify design weak points from a safety point of view.
