One Acceptor is Enough

Rachid Guerraoui, Maysam Yabandeh

The celebrated Paxos protocol implements a reliable service as a state machine replicated over several machines. Replication provides reliability against permanent failures and availability against temporary crash failures. Whereas, in theory, Paxos can to ...

Explaining thermal failure in saturated clays

Lyesse Laloui, Bertrand François

Failure conditions in soils at elevated temperatures appear to be strongly dependent on the history of the application of stress and temperature. Four cases of such history leading to various modes of failure are identified and interpreted in terms of Ther ...

Failure in multiphase geomaterias

Lyesse Laloui

The contributions assembled in the present volume proceed from the lectures of the 2009 ALERT Geomaterials School devoted to the Failure in the multiphase geomaterials. The multiphase behaviour of geomaterials used to be mainly considered from the point of ...

Stress and failure analysis of crimped metal-composite joints used in electrical insulators subjected to bending

John Botsis, Thomas Gmür, Alain Michel Prenleloup

Experimental and numerical investigations are carried out on metal/fibregiass-reinforced-plastic joints integrated in electrical insulators subject to bending. Numerical stress and strain distributions through the bond are calculated with a solid 3D finite ...

A UML Based System Level Failure Rate Assessment Technique for SoC Designs

Pejman Lotfi Kamran

This paper proposes an analytical method to assess softerror rate (SER) in the early stages of a System-on-Chip (SoC) platform-based design methodology. The proposed method uses an executable UML model of the SoC for its input. Soft-errors on the design ar ...

On The Weakest Failure Detector Ever

Rachid Guerraoui

Many problems in distributed computing are impossible when no information about process failures is available. So what is the minimal yet non-trivial failure information? In other words, what is the minimal information about failures needed to circumvent a ...

Zum Querkraftwiderstand von Stahl- und Spannbetonträgern mit dünnen Stegen

Eckart Hars

The design of reinforced and prestressed concrete girders is usually performed so as to avoid any non ductile failure mode. Amongst these failure modes, one of the most undesirable occurs by crushing of concrete in the web. To avoid this brittle type of fa ...

Failure Analysis of Micro-Heating Elements Suspended on Thin Membranes

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Jérôme Courbat

We report on the degradation of platinum micro-heating elements operating at high temperatures. Devices with platinum heaters suspended on micro-machined dielectric membranes were self-heated at high temperature until failure. Optical and SEM observations ...

Fault location algorithms for optical networks

Today, there is no doubt that optical networks are the solution to the explosion of Internet traffic that two decades ago we only dreamed about. They offer high capacity with the use of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) techniques among others. Howeve ...

Fault Localization at the WDM Layer

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Patrick Thiran, Carmen Mas

A single failure in a communication network may trigger many alarms. When the communication network uses optical fibres as transmission medium and increases its capacity by using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), the number of alarms and the difficul ...
