  • Satisfying the same probability of loss of control and essentially two fail operative performance with a triplex computer architecture requires a lot of modification of the conventional redundancy management design techniques, previously employed in quadruplex digital flight control computer. T-50 FCS for triplex redundancy management design applied an advanced digital flight control architecture with an I/O controller which is functionally independent of the digital computer to achieve the same reliability and special failure analysis and isolation schemes for fail operational goals with a triplex configuration. The analysis results indicated that the triplex flight control system is to satisfy the safety requirement utilizing the advanced flight control techniques and the system performance of the implemented flight control system was verified by failure mode effect test.

  • The flight control computer applied to manned/unmanned aircraft is one of the key components directly connected to the control of the aircraft, and is generally designed with a redundant architecture so that essential functions for flight can be maintained even if a failure occurs in a single channel. The operational flight program loaded on these redundant flight control computers should be designed considering a time synchronization between channels, input data selection methods from redundant sensors, and fault detection/isolation methods for channels. In this paper, we propose a redundancy management method applied to triplex compact flight control computers for advanced air vehicle. The proposed redundancy management method includes a synchronization algorithm between triplex channels, an input data voting method from sensors, a bus control right selection method for control command output, and a fault detection/isolation method for channels.

  • This paper presents the first known application of a meta-heuristic algorithm, variable neighbourhood descent (VND), to the redundancy allocation problem (RAP). The RAP, a well-known NP-hard problem, has been the subject of much prior work, generally in a restricted form where each subsystem must consist of identical components. The newer meta-heuristic methods overcome this limitation and offer a practical way to solve large instances of the relaxed RAP where different components can be used in parallel. The variable neighbourhood descent method has not yet been used in reliability design, yet it is a method that fits perfectly in those combinatorial problems with potential neighbourhood structures, as in the case of the RAP. A variable neighbourhood descent algorithm for the RAP is developed and tested on a set of well-known benchmark problems from the literature. Results on 33 test problems ranging from less to severely constrained conditions show that the variable neighbourhood descent method provides comparable solution quality at a very moderate computational cost in comparison with the best-known heuristics. Results also indicate that the VND method performs with little variability over random number seeds.

  • Reliability is considered a particularly important design factor for systems that have critical results once a failure occurs in a system, such as trains, airplanes, and passenger ships. The reliability of the system can be improved in several ways, but in a system that requires considerable reliability, the redundancy of parts is efficient in improving the system reliability. In the case of duplicating parts to improve reliability, the kind of parts and the number of duplicating parts should be determined under the system reliability, part costs, and resources. This study examined the redundancy allocation of multi-level systems with serial structures. This paper describes the definition of a multi-system and how to optimize the kind of parts and number of duplications to maximize the system reliability. To optimize the redundancy, the cuckoo search algorithm was applied. The search procedure, the solution representation and the development of the neighborhood solution were proposed to optimize the redundancy allocation of a multi-level system. The results of numerical experiments were compared with the genetic algorithm and cuckoo search algorithm.

  • In this paper, a new fault detection and isolation algorithm fur inertial sensor system is proposed. To identify the inertial sensor fault, single antenna GPS receiver is used as an effective redundancy source. To use GPS receiver as redundancy for the inertial sensors, the algorithm to estimate the attitude and acceleration using single antenna GPS receiver is adopted. By using Doppler shift of carrier phase signal and kinetic characteristics of aircraft, attitude information of aircraft can be obtained at the coordinated flight condition. Based on this idea, fault diagnosis algorithm for inertial sensors using single antenna GPS based attitude is proposed. For more effective FDI, decision variables considering the aircraft maneuver are proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through the numerical simulations.

  • Cooperativeness within an organization can be conceptualized as the degree of members' willingness to work with others. The simulation study investigates the relationships of cooperativeness with team performance at different levels of information redundancy by using a multi-agents model called Team-Soar. The model consists of a group of four individual Al agents situated in a network, which models a naval command and control team consisting of four members. The study used a $9{\times}3$ design in which agent cooperativeness was manipulated at nine levels by gradually replacing selfish team members with increasing numbers of neutral and cooperative members, while information redundancy was controlled at three different levels(i.e., low, medium, and high). Results of the Team-Soar simulation show that cooperation has positive impacts on team performance. Further, the results reveal that the impact of agent cooperativeness on team performance depends on the amount of information needed to be processed during the decision making process.

  • As infringement accidents of personal information have often occurred and estimates of damages are too large, the government introduces many certifications related with personal information management system for protecting personal information. Among them, PIMS and PIPL share many points in common, so many complaints about duplicate regulation have been suggested. This study evaluates the duplication of two certifications in order to examine redundancy between PIMS and PIPL both of which have been controversial.

  • Network function virtualization can significantly improve the flexibility and effectiveness of network appliances via a mapping process called service function chaining. However, the failure of any single virtualized network function causes the breakdown of the entire chain, which results in resource wastage, delays, and significant data loss. Redundancy can be used to protect network appliances; however, when failures occur, it may significantly degrade network efficiency. In addition, it is difficult to efficiently map the primary and backups to optimize the management cost and service reliability without violating the capacity, delay, and reliability constraints, which is referred to as the reliability-aware service chaining mapping problem. In this paper, a mixed integer linear programming formulation is provided to address this problem along with a novel online algorithm that adopts the joint protection redundancy model and novel backup selection scheme. The results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the request acceptance ratio and reduce the consumption of physical resources compared to existing backup algorithms.
