Impact of Imperfect Repairs and Diagnostic Coverage on the Reliability of Multi-Channel IEC-61850 Substation Communication Network

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
The reliability evaluation of IEC-61850 based Substation Communication Network (SCN) is often achieved by using combinatorial methods such as Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) because it is considered to be conceptually simple and easy to apply.

Enhanced Safety Logic Solver Utilizing 2oo3 Architecture with Memristor Integration

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
A safety instrument function (SIF) averts hazardous incidents that may arise due to diverse anomalies within a system. The SIF prevents potential dangers by comprising three integral components—the sensing element, the logic solver, and the final element.

Harnessing Generative AI Within Human‐Aligned Constraints: Exploring Control Strategies and Existential Considerations

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
We propose the Powerful‐but‐Limited Generative AI theorem, demonstrating that embedding human‐inspired constraints, such as fixed utility functions and neuro‐symbolic submission layers, ensures generative AI remains controllable by preventing self‐improvement beyond designer intent.

Efficient Scheduling Algorithms for Multicore Cyclic Executives With Precedence and Exclusion Relations

open access: yesConcurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cyclic executives (CEs) offer the advantage of ensuring complete determinism with minimal runtime overhead, often making them the preferred choice for safety‐critical real‐time systems. However, generating CEs for multicore processors while addressing task precedence and exclusion relations presents significant challenges.
