Networked embedded systems using the smart device and fieldbus technologies are now found in many industrial fields including process automation and automobiles. However the discrepancy between a node's view of current time and the rest of the system can cause many difficulties in the design and implementation of a networked system. To provide a networked system with a global reference time, the problem of clock synchronization has been intensively studied over the decades. However, many of the existing solutions, which are mainly developed for large scale distributed computer systems, cannot be directly applied to embedded systems. This paper presents a fault-tolerant clock synchronization technique that can be used for a low-cost embedded system using a CAN bus. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated with a set of microcontrollers and DC motor-based actuators.

The continuous process systems usually consists of various components: driven rollers. idle rolls, load-cell and so on. Even a simple fault in a single component in the line may cause a catastrophic damage on the final products. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to diagnosis the components of the continuous systems. In this paper, an adaptive eccentricity compensation method is presented. And a new diagnosis method for transverse roll shape defects on rolling process is developed. The new method was induced from analyzing the rolling mechanism by using rolling force model, tension model, Hitchcock's equation, and measured delivery thickness of materials etc. Computer simulation results also show that the proposed diagnosis methods is very effective in the diagnosis of 3-D roll shape

A fault-tolerant gait of multi-legged robots with static walking is a gait which can maintain gait stability and continue its walking against an occurrence of a leg failure. This paper proposes fault-tolerant gait planning of a quadruped robot walking over a rough planar terrain. The considered fault is a locked joint failure, which prevents a joint of a leg from moving and makes it locked in a known position. In this Paper, two-phase discontinuous gaits are presented as a new fault-tolerant gait for quadruped robots suffering from a locked joint failure. By comparing with previously developed one-phase discontinuous gaits, it is shown that the proposed gait has great advantages in gait performance such as the stride length and terrain adaptability. Based on the two-phase discontinuous gait, quasi follow-the-leader(FTL) gaits are constructed which enable a quadruped robot to traverse two-dimensional rough terrain after an occurrence of a locked joint failure. During walking, two front legs undergo the foot adjustment procedure for avoiding stepping on forbidden areas. The Proposed wait planning is verified by using computer graphics simulations.

본 논문에서는 비평탄 지형을 보행하기 위한 육족 보행 로봇의 내고장성 걸음새 계획을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 고려하고 있는 고장은 관절고착고장으로 로봇 다리의 관절 하나가 어떤 위치에 고착되어서 보행이 끝날 때까지 움직일 수 없는 상태를 말한다. 기존에 제안되었던 평탄 지형 보행을 위한 내고장성 세다리 걸음새 계획을 바탕으로 본 논문에서는 육족 보행 로봇이 관절고착고장이 발생한 후에도 이차원 착지 불가능 영역이 존재하는 비평탄 지형을 걸을 수 있도록 하는 내고장성 FTL(Follow-The-Leader) 걸음새를 구현한다. 제안된 FTL 걸음새는 고장 난 다리의 착지점에서 로봇이 가질 수 있는 최대한의 보폭을 낼 수 있으며, 기존 내고장성 걸음새보다 착지 불가능 영역을 뛰어넘는 능력이 더 우수하다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제안된 FTL 걸음새의 응용가능성을 검증한다.

내장 실시간 시스템의 경우 시스템의 오류로 인한 비정상적인 운행이 커다란 경제적 피해나 인명피해를 초래할 수 있으므로 시스템의 고 신뢰도 보장은 필수적이다. 이에 많은 결함허용 방법들이 연구되었는데 이들은 대부분 단위 객체에서 발생하는 오류만 감지하고 단위 객체 수준에서 오류를 처리하는 객체 수준 결함 허용 방법이다. 그런데, 내장 실시간 시스템이 점점 더 복잡해지고 커짐에 따라 객체 수준 결함 허용 방법만으로는 감지하거나 처리할 수 없는 결함과 오류가 존재한다. 따라서, 여러 객체들의 상태에 대한 분석을 통해서 시스템의 상태가 정상인지 비정상인지를 판단하고 오류가 발생했을 때에는 오류의 원인이 되는 결함을 찾은 다음 알맞은 복구 및 재배치 방법을 결정하는 시스템 수준 결함 허용이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 객체 수준 결함 허용 기능을 제공하는 RobustRTO(Robust Real-Time Object)와 시스템 수준 결함 허용 기능을 제공하는 RMO(Region Monitor real-time Object)를 제안하고 이들을 이용하여 객체 수준 결함 허용 기능뿐만 아니라 시스템 수준 결함 허용 기능도 갖는 고 신뢰도의 결함 허용 시스템을 모델링할 수 있음을 보인다. 본 논문은 객체 모델의 장점과 실시간성 표현이 용이한 실시간객체(RTO 또는 Real-Time Object) 모델에 기반한다.

As commonly known, sensor errors and faulty signals may potentially lead structures in vibration to catastrophic failures. This paper presents a new approach to deal with sensor errors/faults in vibration control of structures by using the Fault detection and isolation (FDI) technique. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, a space truss structure with semi-active devices such as Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper is used as an example. To address the problem, a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) based fixed-order $H_{\infty}$ FDI filter is introduced and designed. Modeling errors are treated as uncertainties in the FDI filter design to verify the robustness of the proposed FDI filter. Furthermore, an innovative Fuzzy Fault Tolerant Controller (FFTC) has been developed for this space truss structure model to preserve the pre-specified performance in the presence of sensor errors or faults. Simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed FDI filter is capable of detecting and isolating sensor errors/faults and actuator faults e.g., accelerometers and MR dampers, and the proposed FFTC can maintain the structural vibration suppression in faulty conditions.

This study proposed a fault tolerant control algorithm for electro-hydraulic brake systems where permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive is adopted to boost the braking pressure. To cope with motor position sensor faults in the PMSM drive, a braking pressure controller based on an open-loop speed control method for the PMSM was proposed. The magnitude of the current vector was determined from the target braking pressure, and motor rotational speed was derived from the pressure control error to build up the braking pressure. The position offset of the pump piston resulting from a leak in the hydraulic system is also compensated for using the open-loop speed control by moving the piston backward until it is blocked at the end of stroke position. The performance and stability of the proposed controller were experimentally verified. According to the results, the control algorithm can be utilized as an effective means of degraded control for electro-hydraulic brake systems in the case that a motor position sensor fault occurs.

컴퓨터 네트워크를 이용한 회의에 있어서 공유키 합의 프로토콜은 보안이 필요한 회의에 필수적이다. 그 중에서도 결함 허용 회의 키 합의 프로토콜은 가짜 참여자가 키 생성을 방해한다고 하더라도 정당한 참여자만이 회의키를 공유할 수 있게 만들어주는 방법이다. 그러나 기존의 방법은 가짜 참여자의 수가 많을 경우 효율적으로 동작하지 못한다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문은 결함 허용 회의키 합의 방법에 아이디 기반의 삼자 간 키 합의 프로토콜을 적용하여 기존의 방법들에 비하여 낮은 키 합의 비용으로 동작하는 결함 허용 회의 키 합의 방법을 제안한다. 실험결과는 효율적이라고 알려진 Yi의 방법보다 제안 방법이 효율적이며, 특히 공격자가 많은 경우엔 더욱 효율적으로 동작하는 것을 보여준다.

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.
