  • 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.

  • In this paper, we analyze a technique for building a high-availability (HA) cluster system. We propose what we have termed the 'Selective Replication Manager (SRM),' which improves the throughput performance and reduces the latency of disk devices by means of a Distributed Replicated Block Device (DRBD), which is integrated in the recent Linux Kernel (version 2.6.33 or higher) and that still provides HA and failover capabilities. The proposed technique can be applied to any disk replication and database system with little customization and with a reasonably low performance overhead. We demonstrate that this approach using SRM increases the disk replication speed and reduces latency by 17% and 7%, respectively, as compared to the existing DRBD solution. This approach represents a good effort to increase HA with a minimum amount of risk and cost in terms of commodity hardware.

  • Cloud computing is cost-effective in terms of system configuration and maintenance and does not require special IT skills for management. Also, cloud computing provides an access control setting where SSO is adopted to secure user convenience and availability. As the SSO user authentication structure of cloud computing is exposed to quite a few external security threats in wire/wireless network integrated service environment, researchers explore technologies drawing on distributed SSO agents. Yet, although the cloud computing access control using the distributed SSO agents enhances security, it impacts on the availability of services. That is, if any single agent responsible for providing the authentication information fails to offer normal services, the cloud computing services become unavailable. To rectify the environment compromising the availability of cloud computing services, and to protect resources, the current paper proposes a security policy that controls the authority to access the resources for cloud computing services by applying the authentication policy of user authentication agents. The proposed system with its policy of the authority to access the resources ensures seamless and secure cloud computing services for users.

  • 수소의 대표적인 공급방식에는 집중식과 분산식이 있다. 경제성 측면에서 대량수소사용을 위해 집중식이 유리하지만 막대한 공급인프라 구축비용이 단기간에 소요되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 기존의 천연가스배관에 수소를 혼합공급하는 방법이 주목받고 있다. 본 논문에서의 수소혼합공급의 환경적 유용성을 타수소공급방안과 비교하여 분석한 결과에 의하면 수소혼합공급이 환경적으로 유익하며, 특히 지구온난화 감소에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • This paper proposes a maintenance model considering the Inherent availability of certain requirement and two types of failures, repairable or irrepairable. In this model, the system is replaced in time when it doesn't meet the inherent availability requirement despite of all repairable failures; Otherwise it is replaced by the first irrepairable failure. Assuming that the j-th failure is repairable with probability ${\alpha}_j$, minimal repairs are performed for repairable failures between replacements. We drive the expected cost rate through the application of NHPP(Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process) in order to determine the optimal number $n^*$. The model includes some previous studies as special cases.

  • Reliability of onboard power supply systems on rolling stock is a very important issue for the railway operator. While a failure of the HVAC supply results in a loss of comfort for the passengers, a failure of the supply for air compressors or for the traction cooling systems results in towing the train. This is, looking at the required availability of a train, not acceptable. An active redundancy concept for the onboard power supply maximizes the availability of the system. This paper describes such a system under the aspect of $\cdot$ Weight reduction $\cdot$ Continuous operation when changing from normal to redundant operation $\cdot$ Flexibility in train design.

  • The Start-up transformers or on-site stand-by transformers are installed for the start-up and shut-down of generator and emergency status in unclear power plant. The on-site power supply configuration using these transformers must be detemined by considering configuration requirements, site characteristics, reliability and availability severely because it is remarkably important for safety and benefit of plant. The start-up or stand-by power supply configuration has been determined considering only safety requirements and construction cost up to now in Korea. I study various reliability estimating methods for the prediction of availability, and estimate the unavailability for the start-up power supply system of two 1,000㎿ unclear power plants. I also detemine the reliability and unavailability and unavailavility of equipment, system and configuration using FTA method.

  • After clarifying the underlying problems in a secure network storage, we introduce two important requirements, leakageresilience and availability in higher levels respectively, for data keys that are used to protect remotely-stored data. As a main contribution of this paper, we give a new security layer for overlay networks by proposing a leakage-resilient authentication and data management system. In this system, we specifically propose a single mode and a cluster mode where the latter provides a higher level of both leakage-resilience and availability for the data key.

  • 세계적으로 ICT(Information & Communication Technology)를 통한 비용절감 및 업무혁신이 이루어지면서 클라우드 컴퓨팅(이하 클라우드) 시장이 급성장하고 있다. 이러한 패러다임에 맞춰 우리나라는 다양한 연구를 통해 공공부문, 국방 분야 등 다양한 분야에 클라우드를 도입시키기 위해 노력하고 있다. 특히 국방 분야에서는 2015년 육·해·공·군 전산소를 통합하여 국방통합데이터센터(DIDC, Defense Integrated Data Center)를 설립하였으며, 센터 내 일부 시스템을 대상으로 IaaS(Infrastructure as a Service) 형태의 클라우드 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 국방통합데이터센터 및 추후 도입될 국방 분야의 다양한 클라우드 시스템에서 네트워크 지연, 시스템 자원 고장 등과 같은 시스템 장애가 발생하게 되면 전장의 결과와 직결되기 때문에 국방 부문의 클라우드 시스템에 가용성을 보장하는 것은 중요한 이슈라 할 수 있다. 그러나 국방 클라우드의 모든 시스템을 대상으로 최고 수준의 가용성을 확보하는 것은 비효율적일 수 있으며, 클라우드 시스템 구축으로 얻을 수 있었던 효율성이 감소할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 국방 클라우드 시스템의 가용성 확보 수준을 단계별로 분류 및 정의하고, 각 가용성 확보 수준에 따른 Erasure Coding 및 장애 허용 시스템, 재난 복구 시스템 기술 도입 전략을 제안한다.

  • It is very important to forecast demand and determine the optimal procurement quantities of spare parts. The Army has been forecasting demand not with actual usage of spare parts but with request quantities. However, the Army could not purchase all of forecasted demand quantities due to budget limit. Thus, the procurement quantities depend on the item managers' intuition and their meetings. The system currently used contains many problems. This study suggests a new determination procedure; 1) forecasting demand method based on actual usage, 2) determining procurement method through LP model with budge and other constraints. The newly determined quantities of spare parts is verified in the simulation model, that represents the real operational and maintenance situation to measure the operational availability. The result shows that the new forecasting method with actual usage improves the operational availability. Also, the procurement determination with LP improves the operational availability as well.
