Considering structure of depot, it is impossible to install the track circuit systems due to iron-beam. Because rails and earth are connected by the iron-beam, there is much leakage current. So, it is hard to apply the track circuit systems. Thus, when trains go to the depot, sign which indicates existence of trains is used manually. In case of wrong sign, accidents occur such as train crash, derailment etc. Currently, location of trains has been found by using optical sensor in the depot to prevent the accidents. However, it costs a great deal to install and maintain the optical sensor. Therefore, this method is hardly used in train operation institutes. In this paper, virtual track circuit systems are introduced by using software program in the depot. Also, algorithm of the virtual track circuit systems is proposed. In case that signal is handled to the depot which is occupied by the train, safety is ensured by indicating sign which means existence of trains and stop signal. Also, proper fault tolerance techniques are proposed to the software by analyzing reliability and availability.

Ubiquitous sensor network is the communication environment where sensor nodes move freely and construct network to get the services from the system. So, it does not need fixed infrastructure and can easily be placed in unaccessible regions like war or calamity area. Wireless sensor network protocol has self-organizing capability, need to adapt topology change flexibly and also has technique that sensor nodes work cooperatively, because network disconnection is frequently occurred due to the active mobility of sensor nodes. In this paper, we design a cluster based fault-tolerant routing protocol for the efficient topology construction and to guarantee stable data transmission in USN. The performance of the proposed protocol is evaluated by an analytic model.

본 논문에서는 원자력 발전소용 이더넷 기반 링형 실시간 제어 통신망인 ERCNet(Ethernet-based Real-Time Control Network)에서 고신뢰성을 유지하기 위한 결함 허용 방법들을 제시한다. 임의의 노드의 프로그램 동작에 이상(fault)이 발생하였을 경우, 와치독(Watchdog) 타이머로 탐지하여 링을 자동 복구하고, 그 노드가 다시 회복될 경우의 노드 추가 메커니즘을 제안한다. 이 메커니즘은 한 노드가 전체 네트워크에서 제외되거나 추가될지라도 네트워크가 운용성(operability)을 유지할 수 있도록 한다. 두 번째로, 한 채널 또는 양 채널 에러 발생시 이 에러를 대처하기 위한 채널 이중화 방식과 시스템 이중화 방식에 대해 제안한다. 마지막으로 통신망의 임의의 위치에서 이상이 발생했을 경우 그 발생 위치를 파악할 수 있는 메커니즘을 제안한다.

Recently relationships between reliability measures and the coverage have been developed for evaluation of software reliability. Particularly the mean value function of the coverage-based software reliability growth model is important because of its key role in rep-resenting the software reliability growth. In this paper, we first review the problems of the existing mean value functions with respect to the assumptions on which they are based. Then a new mean value function is proposed. The new mean value function is developed for a general testing environment in which imperfect fault detection and repeated construct execution are allowed. Finally performance of the proposed model is empirically evaluated by applying it to a real data set.

With the development of the internet technology, network application services based on a large number of network nodes have been focused. However, such application services require much larger network size and traffic than current network. In order to develop them, efficient solutions as well as a simple improvement of network infra processing time are required. In this paper, to contribute a improvement of network computing technology, we design and implement the agent platform software based on the agent technology that performs works independently and asynchronously on a network and platform. The proposed agent platform software supports the scalability to accommodate the number of network hosts with rapid growth, the adaptability on a variable environments, and the availability for a fault-tolerance.

IT Systems based on Global Single Instance (GSI) can manage a corporation's internal information, resources and assets effectively and raise business efficiency through consolidation of their business process and productivity. But, It has also dangerous factor that IT system fault failure can cause a state of paralysis of a business itself, followed by huge loss of money. Many of studies have been conducted about fault-tolerance based on using redundant component. The concept of fault tolerance is rather simple but, designing and adopting fault-tolerance system is not easy due to uncertainty of a type and frequency of faults. So, Operational fault management that working after developed IT system is important more and more along with technical fault management. This study proposes the fault management process that including a pre-estimation method using TRM (Technical Reference Model) check point and event rule engine. And also proposes a effect of fault-free process through built fault management system to representative company of Hi-tech industry. After adopting fault-free process, a number of failure decreased by 46%, a failure time decreased by 56% and the Opportunity loss costs decreased by 77%.

세라믹막을 이용한 oil 폐수 처리의 기초 연구로서 정밀여과용 세라믹막의 제조와 oil(kerosene)-in-water 타입 에멀젼에 대한 막분리 효율이 연구되었다. 정밀여과 막으로서는 압출(extrusion)법으로 성형하여 제조한 $\alpha$-알루미나 튜브(평균 기공크기 0.9 $\mum$)와 이들 튜브(담체)내부에 $ZrO_2$ 또는 $Al_2O_3$ 다공성 박막을 코팅한 2층 구조의 복합막들을 사용하였다. 담체의 높은 투과율 ($1700 l/m^2\cdot h$ at $\Deltap = 1$ atm)을 어느정도 유지하면서 막분리 효율을 증대시킬 수 있는 새로운 슬러리 코팅법이 개발되엇으며, 코팅후 950-1300$\circ$C 에서 열처리한 코팅층의 두께와 평균 기공크기는 각각 5 - 20 $\mum$정도 이었다. 정밀여과막의 특성평가를 위하여 막 제조조건에 따른 코팅층의 두께 및 결함유무를 SEM으로 일단 관찰한 후에 Bubble Point Test와 Mercury Porosimeter를 이용하여 측정한 최대 및 평균 기공반경과 물의 투과량으로부터 막 전체에 대한 결함 유무와 결함의 허용한도등을 비교 분석하였다.

It has a tendency to build Workflow Systems based on the web with the spread of web environment. The important function in Workflow Systems are to automatize job flow according to the predefined regulations, procedures or conditions. Hence, there needs to consider excluding passive jobs, supporting GUI and a migratory information processing for information flow. Distributed Workflow System for workflow of a distributed service system should perform transfer control and Fault-Tolerance between tasks based on process logic, and real time processing. However, the existing mail systems being used are just for transmission and it doesn't fit to automatize job flow. To solve the matter, there needs a Distributed Workflow Engine to design workflow and automatize its control. In this paper, we design a web browser with graphic interface using web mail, a browser creating a script code for a procedural performance. Also, we design a Process-engine has a Preprocessor which tolerates process scheduler for task transaction or server node's faults on distributed environment. The proposed system enhances the reliability and usability of a system reduces the cost rather than a workflow system based on database, for they execute as proxy for a server's fault or suers' absence.

In recent years, several paradigms have been identified to simplify the design of fault-tolerant distributed applications in a conventional static system. Leader Election is among the most noticeable, particularly because it is closely related to group communication, which provides a powerful basis for implementing active replications among other uses. On the other hand, despite its usefulness, to our knowledge, no study has focused on this problem in a mobile computing environment. The aim of this paper was to propose an algorithm for the leader election protocol in a fixed station based wireless networks environment. The election algorithm is much more efficient than other election algorithms in terms of the fault tolerance.

발전용 터빈 부품중 회전체인 로터의 수명평가를 간단히 소개하고 수명평가시 고려되는 주요 재질특성에 대하여는 간단한 설명과 데이터를 이용하는 방법을 기술했다. 정확한 수명평가를 위해서는 금속학적인 고찰을 병행하여 경년열화와 효과를 고려하고, 실제 가동 조건과 동일시할 수 있는 각종 데이터를 적용해야 하나 본문에서와 같이 실험에 따르는 제약이 많아 추정 또는 가공된 데이터를 이용한다. 신뢰성 높은 수명평가를 위해선 각종 데이터 확보를 위한 실험장치의 개선과 실험방법의 개발이 매우 중요하다고 본다. 또한 현존하는 재료제조 기술상 초기부터 일 정한 허용결함을 인정하면서 설계, 제조, 가동되고 있는 각종 설비에 경제성을 극대화시키면서 동시에 안전을 확보하는 것은 매우 어렵지만 피할 수 없는 당면과제라 생각한다.
