Purpose – The precise control and dynamic analysis of the electrical Stewart platform have not been so well treated in the literature. This paper aims to design a novel model‐based controller to improve the tracing performance of the electrical Stewart platform. Moreover, the simulations...

This paper describes an information system that was architected to enable front end distributed intelligence in a real manufacturing environment. By distributing intelligence to the most robust components of the system, data can be preserved at the cost of very real-time information. In order...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a novel diagnosis approach, using neural networks (NNs), which can be used to identify faulty nodes in distributed and multiprocessor systems. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a literature‐based study focusing on research methodology...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe an adaptive approach for diagnosing faulty nodes in a wireless mobile environment. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a diagnosis approach that has been previously developed for wired networks. A discussion of the novel diagnosis...

This report describes research in the area of fault detection and handling designs used in the longitudinal control system of platooned automated vehicles. Results are presented on experimental testing of the designs. The authors also describe a consistent interface between the fault detection...

Reliability of RAM memory systems is impaired by environmental disturbances, causing soft errors, whereby one data bit is transformed to another bit. Single‐error correcting codes with memory scrubbing offer the most effective method to recover from such errors. This paper analyzes the...

Proposes an improvement of the RPN model used in the failure mode and effects analysis. The aim of the proposed model is to make RPN a better measurement tool. Suggests combining the improved RPN model with an expected cost model in quality improvement efforts.
