AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

This paper describes a novel methodology for predicting fault prone modules. The methodology is based on Dempster-Shafer (D-S) belief networks. Our approach consists of three steps: First, building the Dempster-Shafer network by the induction algorithm; Second, selecting the predictors (attributes) by the logistic procedure; Third, feeding the predictors describing the modules of the current project into the inducted Dempster-Shafer network and identifying fault prone modules. We applied this methodology to a NASA dataset. The prediction accuracy of our methodology is higher than that achieved by logistic regression or discriminant analysis on the same dataset.

This paper explores a novel challenge regarding bidirectional Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): supervisory control amidst potential sensor faults. The proposed approach uses an event-based control architecture, guided by Supervisory Control Theory (SCT), to achieve non-blocking routing of AGVs. Unlike most routing approaches assuming full event observability, this paper investigates scenarios where events might become unobservable due to sensor faults or disturbances, which may affect the supervisor efficiency.

Rolling bearings of the vibration exciter are prone to failure due to long-term high amplitude alternating impact loads, causing economic losses and threatening production safety. The heavy environmental noise during the operation of the vibration exciter and the high vibration level generated by the eccentric block make the weak bearing fault features submerged and difficult to extract. Teager-Kaiser energy operator is a popular method for extracting bearing fault features.

Software fault prediction is crucial to compute the potential occurrence of faults within the software components, before code testing or execution. Machine learning, especially deep learning, has been applied to predict faults, but both encounter challenges such as insufficient accuracy, imbalanced data, overfitting, and complex structure. Moreover, deep learning yields superior predictions when working with large datasets.

Quorum systems are a key abstraction in distributed fault-tolerant computing for capturing trust assumptions. They can be found at the core of many algorithms for implementing reliable broadcasts, shared memory, consensus and other problems. This paper introduces that model subjective trust.

Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) methods and fault-tolerant control (FTC) have been the focus of intensive research across various fields to ensure safe operation, reduce costs, and optimize maintenance tasks. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), particularly quadcopters or quadrotors, are often prone to faults in sensors and actuators due to their complex dynamics and exposure to various external uncertainties. In this context, this work implements different FDD approaches based on the Kalman filter (KF) for fault estimation to achieve FTC of the quadcopter, considering different faults with nonlinear behaviors and the possibility of simultaneous occurrences in actuators and sensors.
