Faults are an important concept in the study of system dependability, and most approaches to dependability can be characterized by the way in which they deal with faults (e.g., fault avoidance, fault removal, fault tolerance, ...

In this paper, an extended impedance-based fault-location formulation for generalized distribution systems is presented. The majority of distribution feeders are characterized by having several laterals, nonsymmetrical ...

Power distribution automation and control are import-ant tools in the current restructured electricity markets. Unfortunately, due to its stochastic nature, distribution systems faults are hardly avoidable. This paper ...

Finding software faults is a problematic activity in many systems. Existing approaches usually work close to the system implementation and require developers to perform different code analyses. Although these approaches ...

This work carries out an analysis on fault tol-erance in multirotor vehicles, particularly for an hexarotorone, where such feature is achieved by shifting the center ofmass in case of a motor failure. It will be shown that, ...

Service Oriented Computing is a relevant paradigm that allows for building software solutions as it supports the creation of dynamic and agile applications. As a result of these benefits, applications based on the paradigm ...
