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.

The fault-tolerance routing problem is one of the most important issues in the application of the Internet of Things, and has been attracting growing research interests. In order to maintain the communication paths from source sensors to the macronodes, we present a hybrid routing scheme and model, in which alternate paths are created once the previous routing is broken. Then, we propose an improved efficient and intelligent fault-tolerance algorithm (IEIFTA) to provide the fast routing recovery and reconstruct the network topology for path failure in the Internet of Things. In the IEIFTA, mutation direction of the particle is determined by multi-swarm evolution equation, and its diversity is improved by the immune mechanism, which can improve the ability of global search and improve the converging rate of the algorithm. The simulation results indicate that the IEIFTA-based fault-tolerance algorithm outperforms the EARQ algorithm and the SPSOA algorithm due to its ability of fast routing recovery mechanism and prolonging the lifetime of the Internet of Things.

Wireless sensor networks are composed of a large number of inexpensive and tiny sensors used in different areas including military, industry, agriculture, space, and environment. Fault tolerance, which is considered a challenging task in these networks, is defined as the ability of the system to offer an appropriate level of functionality in the event of failures. The present study proposed an intelligent throughput descent and distributed energy-efficient mechanism in order to improve fault tolerance of the system against soft and permanent faults. This mechanism includes determining the intelligent neighborhood radius threshold, the intelligent neighborhood nodes number threshold, customizing the base paper algorithm for distributed systems, redefining the base paper scenarios for failure detection procedure to predict network behavior when running into soft and permanent faults, and some cases have been described for handling failure exception procedures. The experimental results from simulation indicate that the proposed mechanism was able to improve network throughput, fault detection accuracy, reliability, and network lifetime with respect to the base paper.

인터넷의 초고속 성장과 멀티미디어 데이터의 급격한 증가로 고속의 전송 매체와 인터페이스 시스템이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 고속의 네트워크 대역폭을 지원하기 위한 대안으로 다중(Multiple) NIC가 개발되고 연구되어 왔다. 다중 NIC를 사용함으로써 기존 네트워크 환경의 큰 변화 없이 고속의 LAN 환경을 구축할 수 있으므로 고성능. 저비용의 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 대용량 다중 NIC에 SPOF(Singe Point Of Failure) 결함으로 시스템 중단이 생기면, 대용량의 멀티미디어 데이터를 서비스하는 시스템인 만큼 커다란 손실을 가져오게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 결함으로 오는 손실을 방지하기 위해 결함 허용 기법을 사용하여 '결함 허용 다중 NIC'에 대해서 연구한다. 기존의 TMR, Primary-Standby 기법. Watchdog Timer 기법에서 발생되는 자원에 대한 가용성과 내구성의 비효율적인 부분을 고려하여, 동적으로 검출 주기를 변환하여 다운타임을 최소화 할 수 있는 효율적인 결함 허용 메커니즘을 설계하여 제안한다. 결과적으로 본 논문에서 제안한 결함 허용 기법은 결함이 발생하여 생기는 오버헤드 시간을 줄이고자, Fault Detection에서 소요되는 Timeout 시간을 감소시켜 시스템 전반적으로 다운타임을 최소화시킬 수 있다.

서비스 지향 시스템 환경에서는 하나의 독립된 시스템이 다른 시스템에서 제공하는 서비스를 사용함으로써 시스템의 목표를 달성한다. 이러한 시스템 환경에서는 사용중인 서비스의 품질 저하가 실시간으로 시스템 장애를 유발할 수 있다. 기존 자가 적응 방법들은 서비스의 품질 저하 발생 후 대처하는 fault tolerance 방식을 따르고 있기 때문에 서비스 품질 저하로 인한 피해 발생을 예방하지 못한다. 따라서, 자가 적응 시스템의 신뢰도를 보존하기 위해서는 사용 중인 서비스를 fault tolerance 방식의 품질 기반 적응이 아닌 서비스 안정성 케이스를 기반으로 자가 적응해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 보증 속성 표현 방법인 Goal Structuring Notation 모델링을 활용하여 서비스 안정성 케이스를 표현 및 분석하기 위한 방법과, 서비스 안정성 케이스 분석 결과에 따른 적응 조치 방법, 서비스 생명주기에 따른 서비스 안정성 케이스 기반 자가 적응 메커니즘 적용 방법, 서비스 안정성 케이스 기반 자가 적응을 위한 프레임워크 아키텍처를 제안한다.

Fog computing aims to provide the solution of bandwidth, network latency and energy consumption problems of cloud computing. Likewise, management of data generated by healthcare IoT devices is one of the significant applications of fog computing. Huge amount of data is being generated by healthcare IoT devices and such types of data is required to be managed efficiently, with low latency, without failure, and with minimum energy consumption and low cost. Failures of task or node can cause more latency, maximum energy consumption and high cost. Thus, a failure free, cost efficient, and energy aware management and scheduling scheme for data generated by healthcare IoT devices not only improves the performance of the system but also saves the precious lives of patients because of due to minimum latency and provision of fault tolerance. Therefore, to address all such challenges with regard to data management and fault tolerance, we have presented a Fault Tolerant Data management (FTDM) scheme for healthcare IoT in fog computing. In FTDM, the data generated by healthcare IoT devices is efficiently organized and managed through well-defined components and steps. A two way fault-tolerant mechanism i.e., task-based fault-tolerance and node-based fault-tolerance, is provided in FTDM through which failure of tasks and nodes are managed. The paper considers energy consumption, execution cost, network usage, latency, and execution time as performance evaluation parameters. The simulation results show significantly improvements which are performed using iFogSim. Further, the simulation results show that the proposed FTDM strategy reduces energy consumption 3.97%, execution cost 5.09%, network usage 25.88%, latency 44.15% and execution time 48.89% as compared with existing Greedy Knapsack Scheduling (GKS) strategy. Moreover, it is worthwhile to mention that sometimes the patients are required to be treated remotely due to non-availability of facilities or due to some infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Thus, in such circumstances, the proposed strategy is significantly efficient.

In the current very deep submicron technology era, fault tolerant mechanisms perform an essential function to cope with the effects of soft errors. To evaluate the effectiveness of the fault tolerant mechanism, reliability engineers use simulated fault injections using either saboteur modules or mutants in the simulation model. However, the two methods suffer from both inefficiency in the simulation mechanism and difficulties with the experimental setups. To overcome these inefficiencies, we propose the Verilog-based simulated fault injection (VFI) technique. VFI has the following advantages. First, modification of the design model is unnecessary. Second, the fault injection simulation procedure is simple and efficient. Third, various types of fault injection experiments can be performed. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, we developed a VFI environment using the ICARUS Verilog Simulator. From the experimental results, we were able to qualitatively evaluate the reliability of the target simulation models and to assess the effectiveness of the employed fault-tolerance mechanisms.
