Communication in real-time distributed system should have high reliability. To develop group communication Protocol with high reliability, potential fault should be known and when fault occurs, it should be detected and a necessary action should be taken. Existing detection method by Ack and Time-out is not proper for real time system due to load to Ack which is not received. Therefore, group communication messages from real-time distributed processing systems should be communicated to all receiving processors or ignored by the message itself. This paper can make be sure of transmission of reliable message and deadline by suggesting and experimenting fault detection technique applicable in the real time distributed system based on ring, and analyzing its results. The experiment showed that the shorter the cycle of the heartbeat signal, the shorter the time to propagate the fault detection, which is the time for other nodes to detect the failure of the node.

The sensor network system which has limited resources is deployed in a wide area and plays an important role of gethering information and monitoring. Generally, fault of sensor nodes which was caused by limited resources and poor environment happens. Futhermore, this fault poses many problems related with required quality of whole network. In this paper, new fault detection algorithm which utilizes both consensus algorithm and localized faulty sensor detection scheme is proposed. To verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme, some simulation and experiment are carried out.

Failures would occur because of the hostile nature environment in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) which is deployed randomly. Therefore, considering faults in WSNs is essential when we design WSN. This paper classified fault model in the sensor node. Especially, this paper proposed new error correcting code scheme and fault recovery algorithm in the CH(Cluster Head) node. For the range of the small size information (<16), the parity size of the proposed code scheme has the same parity length compared with the Hamming code, and it has a benefit to generate code word very simple way. This is very essential to maintain reliability in WSN with increase power efficiency.

TCN(Train Communication Network) adopts the master/slave protocol to implement real-time communication. In this network, a fault on the master node, cased by either hardware or software failure, makes the entire communication impossible over TCN. To reduce fault detection and recovery time, this paper propose the contention based mastership transfer algorithm. Slave nodes detect the fault of master node and search next master node using the proposed algorithm. This paper also shows the implementation results of a SoC-based Fault-Tolerant MVB Controller(FT-MVBC) which includes the fault-detect-logic as well as the MVB network logic to verify this algorithm.

Event detection is one of the key issues in many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. The uncertainties that are derived from the instability of sensor node, measurement noise and incomplete sampling would influence the performance of event detection to a large degree. Many of the present researches described the sensor readings with crisp values, which cannot adequately handle the uncertainties inhered in the imprecise sensor readings. In this paper, a fault-tolerant event detection algorithm is proposed based on Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory (also called evidence theory). Instead of crisp values, all possible states of the event are represented by the Basic Probability Assignment (BPA) functions, with which the output of each sensor node are characterized as weighted evidences. The combination rule was subsequently applied on each sensor node to fuse the evidences gathered from the neighboring nodes to make the final decision on whether the event occurs. Simulation results show that even 20% nodes are faulty, the accuracy of the proposed algorithm is around 80% for event region detection. Moreover, 97% of the error readings have been corrected, and an improved detection capability at the boundary of the event region is gained by 75%. The proposed algorithm can enhance the detection accuracy of the event region even in high error-rate environment, which reflects good reliability and robustness. The proposed algorithm is also applicable to boundary detection as it performs well at the boundary of the event.

This paper proposes a faulty node detection scheme that performs collective monitoring of a distributed networked control systems using interval weighting factor. The algorithm is designed to observe every node's behavior collectively based on the pseudo-random Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) code. Each node sends a single BCH bit simultaneously as a replacement for the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code. The fault judgement is performed by performing sequential check of observed detected error to guarantee detection accuracy. This scheme can be used for detecting and preventing serious damage caused by node failure. Simulation results show that the fault judgement based on decision pattern gives comprehensive summary of suspected faulty node.

A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized wireless network. The network is ad hoc because each node is willing to forward data for other nodes, and so the determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically based on the network connectivity. In this paper, we proposed new route maintenance algorithm to improve the efficiency and effective in order to reach destination node. In this algorithm we improve existing route maintenance in Dynamic Source Routing protocol, to improve the algorithm we make a new message we call Emergency Message (EMM). The emergency message used by the node moved to provide information of fault detection.

In this paper, a feature signal extraction method is proposed in order to enhance the low performance of fault detection caused by unbalanced data which denotes the situations when severe disparity exists between the numbers of class instances. Most of the cyclic signals gathered during the process are recognized as normal, while only a few signals are regarded as fault; the majorities of cyclic signals data are unbalanced data. SOM(Self-Organizing Map)-based feature signal extraction method is considered to fix the adverse effects caused by unbalanced data. The weight neurons, mapped to the every node of SOM grid, are extracted as the feature signals of both class data which are used as a reference data set for fault detection. kNN(k-Nearest Neighbor) and SVM(Support Vector Machine) are considered to make fault detection models with comparisons to Hotelling's $T^2$ Control Chart, the most widely used method for fault detection. Experiments are conducted by using simulated process signals which resembles the frequent cyclic signals in semiconductor manufacturing.

현재 주로 사용되고 있는 화재 감지 장치들은 경고 기반으로 되어 있어 정확한 화재 발생의 위치 검색이 어려우며 장치의 고장이 발생한 경우 고장 유/무의 확인이 어려워 보다 큰 인명 피해 및 재산 피해를 가져올 수 있다. 센서 네트워크 시스템은 통신매체 없이 데이터 송/수신이 가능하며 이를 통한 모니터링 환경의 구축이 쉬워 위치검색 및 고장 검출 알고리즘의 적용이 간단하다. 본 논문에서는 WSN 기반의 화재 감지 시스템을 제안하며 오류검출 알고리즘인 Consensus 알고리즘을 적용하여 그 유용성을 확인하고자 한다.
