Enterprise network traffic typically traverses a sequence of middleboxes forming a service function chain, or simply a chain. Tolerating failures when they occur along chains is imperative to the availability and reliability of enterprise…

Hazard radiation can lead the system fault therefore Fault Tolerance is required. Fault Tolerant is a system, which is designed to keep operations running, despite the degradation in the specific module is happening. Many fault tolerances…

A desirable property of control systems is to be robust to inputs, that is small perturbations of the inputs of a system will cause only small perturbations on its outputs. But it is not clear whether this property is maintained at the…

Fault-tolerance techniques depend on replication to enhance availability, albeit at the cost of increased infrastructure costs. This results in a fundamental trade-off: Fault-tolerant services must satisfy given availability and performance…

This paper addresses Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) of Large Power Systems (LPS) subject to sensor failure. Hiding the fault from the controller allows the nominal controller to remain in the loop. We assume specific faults that violate…

Over the last years, machine learning techniques have been applied to more and more application domains, including software engineering and, especially, software quality assurance. Important application domains have been, e.g., software…

Obviously, the dynamism of software reliability research has speeded up significantly in the last period, and we can state the fact that its intensity is approaching, and in some cases is ahead of the information systems hardware…

Smaller feature size, higher clock frequency and lower power consumption are of core concerns of today's nano-technology, which has been resulted by continuous downscaling of CMOS technologies. The resultant 'device shrinking' reduces the…

A quantum computer -- i.e., a computer capable of manipulating data in quantum superposition -- would find applications including factoring, quantum simulation and tests of basic quantum theory. Since quantum superpositions are fragile, the…

Effects of radiation on electronic circuits used in extra-terrestrial applications and radiation prone environments need to be corrected. Since FPGAs offer flexibility, the effects of radiation on them need to be studied and robust methods…

The need for control strategies that can address dynamic system uncertainty is becoming increasingly important. In this work, we propose a Model Predictive Control by quantifying the risk of failure in our system model. The proposed control…

Reasoning about safety, security, and other dependability attributes of autonomous systems is a challenge that needs to be addressed before the adoption of such systems in day-to-day life. Formal methods is a class of methods that…

Control systems should enforce a desired property for both expected modeled situations as well as unexpected unmodeled environmental situations. Existing methods focus on designing controllers to enforce the desired property only when the…

With the rapid advancements of deep learning in the past decade, it can be foreseen that deep learning will be continuously deployed in more and more safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving and robotics. In this context,…

Embedded systems are ubiquitous and play critical roles in management systems for industry and transport. Software failures in these domains may lead to loss of production or even loss of life, so the software in these systems needs to be…

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) with reinforcement learning (RL)-based controllers are increasingly being deployed in complex physical environments such as autonomous vehicles, the Internet-of-Things(IoT), and smart cities. An important…

Due to the diversity and implicit redundancy in terms of processing units and compute kernels, off-the-shelf heterogeneous systems offer the opportunity to detect and tolerate faults during task execution in hardware as well as in software.…

Errors or failures in a high-volume manufacturing environment can have significant impact that can result in both the loss of time and money. Identifying such failures early has been a top priority for manufacturing industries and various…

To cope with the soft errors and make full use of the multi-core system, this paper gives an efficient fault-tolerant hardware and software co-designed architecture for multi-core systems. And with a not large number of test patterns, it…

Field failures, that is, failures caused by faults that escape the testing phase leading to failures in the field, are unavoidable. Improving verification and validation activities before deployment can identify and timely remove many but…
