A conference-key agreement protocol is essential for computer network conferences that need secure communications. Especially, the fault-tolerant conference-key agreement can make a shared conference-key even if some make conferees disturb the key agreement processes. However, the performance of the previous fault-tolerant conference-key agreement protocols is decreasing significantly when the number of fake conferees is increasing. In this paper, we propose an efficient fault-tolerant conference key agreement protocol. Our scheme is based on the ID-based one round tripartite conference key agreement protocol. Simulation results show our scheme's efficiency against Yi's method especially when the number of fake conferees is large.

In this paper, we propose an AFDO (Adaptive Fault Diagnosis Observer) and a fault tolerant controller for a class of nonlinear continuous-time system under the nonlinear abrupt actuator faults. Together with its estimation laws, the AFDO which estimates that the actuator faults is designed by using the Lyapunov analysis. Then, based on the designed AFDO, an adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed as the fault tolerant controller. Using Lyapunov stability analysis, we also prove the uniform boundedness of the state, the output and the fault estimation errors, and the asymptotic stability of the tracking error under the nonlinear time-varying faults. Finally, we illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed diagnosis method and the control scheme thorough computer simulations.

This paper proposes a fault-tolerant multicasting algorithm employing the region encoding scheme in multistage interconnection networks (MIN's) containing multiple faulty switching elements. After classifying all switching elements into two subsets with equal sizes in MIN, the proposed algorithm can tolerate the faulty pattern where every fault is contained in the same subset. In order to send a multicast message to its destinations detouring faults, the proposed algorithm uses the recursive scheme that recirculates it through MIN, We prove that this algorithm can route any multicast message in only two passes through the faulty MIN.

An active Fault Tolerant Model Predictive Control (FTMPC) using Fuzzy scheduler is developed. Fault tolerant Control (FTC) system stages are broadly classified into two namely Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) and fault accommodation. Basically, the faults are identified by means of state estimation techniques. Then using the decision based approach it is isolated. This is usually performed using soft computing techniques. Fuzzy Decision Making (FDM) system classifies the faults. After identification and classification of the faults, the model is selected by using the information obtained from FDI. Then this model is fed into FTC in the form of MPC scheme by Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy scheduler. The Fault tolerance is performed by switching the appropriate model for each identified faults. Thus by incorporating the fuzzy scheduled based FTC it becomes more efficient. The system will be thereafter able to detect the faults, isolate it and also able to accommodate the faults in the sensors and actuators of the Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) process while the conventional MPC does not have the ability to perform it.

In the IMT-2000 networks, the model of micro/pico cell is suggested for transmission of multimedia service. Hence, the efficient method is required for processing of mobile calls in micro/pico cell. In the central urban area, mobile calls may be dynamically increased because of many mobile users. And microcel]/picocell size has small size, handover calls will be more increased. Therefore, many of mobile calls is occurred at a cell in the central urban area, so channel requests for these calls will be increased in the call. In this paper, we propose a scheme, FTC(Fault Tolerant Channel allocation) which is the channel management method for hard handover and new call in a mobile cell of central urban area. When available channels in the cell are consumed, the FTC investigates channel states of neighbor cells in the RNC(Radio Network Controller) or BSC (Base Station Center), and provide available channel for mobile call. The ]no scheme is analyzed and compared with existing channel management method by simulation.

This paper proposes the Byzantine fault tolerant clock synchronization scheme for wireless sensor networks to cope with the clock synchronization disturbance attack of malicious nodes. In the proposed scheme, a node which is requiring clock synchronization receives 3m+1 clock synchronization messages not only from its parent nodes but also from its sibling nodes in order to tolerate malicious attacks even if up to m malicious nodes exist among them. The results show that the proposed scheme is 7 times more resilient to the clock synchronization disturbance attack of malicious nodes than existing schemes in terms of synchronization accuracy.

Chopper and sensors failures resulting from electric shock and mechanical vibration generated by rail irregularities are the serious problem deteriorating the performance in the electromagnetic suspension systems. Thus, this paper proposes a fault-tolerant control scheme with a dynamic compensator for the failure of the choppers, gap sensors and acceleration sensors in electromagnetic suspension system. The advantage of the proposed control method are demonstrated through simulation and experimental results for the levitation characteristics when the failures of the chopper and sensors occur, respectively.

In the design of flight control systems there are issues that deserve special consideration and attention such as external perturbations or systems failures. A Simple Adaptive Controller (SAC) that does not require a-priori knowledge of the faults is proposed in this paper with the aim of realizing a fault tolerant flight control system capable of leading the pitch motion of an aircraft. The main condition for obtaining a stable adaptive controller is the passivity of the plant; however, since real systems generally do not satisfy such requirement, a properly defined Parallel Feedforward Compensator (PFC) is used to let the augmented system meet the passivity condition. The design approach used in this paper to synthesize the PFC and to tune the invariant gains of the SAC is the Population Decline Swarm Optimization ($P_DSO$). It is a modification of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique that takes into account a decline demographic model to speed up the optimization procedure. Tuning and flight mechanics results are presented to show both the effectiveness of the proposed $P_DSO$ and the fault tolerant capability of the proposed scheme to control the aircraft pitch motion even in presence of elevator failures.

The selection of the optimal checkpointing interval has been a very critical issue to implement a checkpointing recovery scheme for the fault tolerant distributed system. This paper presents a new scheme that allows a process to select the proper checkpointing interval dynamically. A process in the system evaluates the cost of checkpointing and possible rollback for each checkpointing interval and selects the proper time interval for the next checkpointing Unlike the other scheme, the overhead incurred by both of the checkpointing and rollback activities are considered for the cost evaluation and current communication pattern is reflected in the selection of the checkpointing interval. Moreover, the proposed scheme requires no extra message communication for the checkpointing interval selection and can easily be incorporated into the existing checkpointing coordination schemes.

We proposed in this paper a systematic way for analyzing discrete event dynamic systems to classify faults and failures quantitatively and to find tolerable fault event sequences embedded in the system. An automated failure diagnosis scheme with respect to the nominal normal operating event sequences and the supervisory control problem for tolerable fault event sequences is presented. Moreover the supervisor failure diagnosis problem with respect to the tolerable fault event sequences is considered. Finally, a plasma etching system example is presented.
