A design diversity metric and reliability analysis for redundant systems
Design diversity has long been used to protect redundant systems against common-mode failures. The conventional notion of diversity relies on "independent" generation of...

An Evolution Strategy Using a Continuous Version of the Gray-Code Neighbourhood Distribution
Abstract. We derive a continuous probability distribution which generates neighbours of a point in an interval in a similar way to the bitwise mutation of a Gray code binary string...

Kinematic analysis and optimal design of a 3T1R type parallel mechanism
In previous studies on 4-DOF parallel mechanisms with four sub-chains, only symmetric arrangement of those four chains connected to the top plate was considered. Such symmetric sha...

A Framework for Scalable Analysis and Design of System-wide Graceful Degradation in Distributed Embedded Systems
We present a framework that will enable scalable analysis and design of graceful degradation in distributed embedded systems. We define graceful degradation in terms of utility. A...
