Fault tolerance is essential for building reliable services; however, it comes at the price of redundancy, mainly the "replication factor" and "diversity". With the increasing reliance on Internet-based services, more machines (mainly…

A standard operational requirement in power systems is that the voltage magnitudes lie within prespecified bounds. Conventional engineering wisdom suggests that such a tightly-regulated profile, imposed for system design purposes and good…
