Toleration and the Design of Norms

Science and Engineering Ethics, 2014
One of the pressing challenges we face today-in a post-Westphalian order (emergence of the state as the modern, political information agent) and post-Bretton Woods world (emergence of non-state multiagent systems or MASs as "hyperhistorical" players in the global economy and politics)-is how to design the right kind of MAS that can take full advantage ...

Error-Tolerant Pooling Designs with Inhibitors

Journal of Computational Biology, 2003
Pooling designs are used in clone library screening to efficiently distinguish positive clones from negative clones. Mathematically, a pooling design is just a nonadaptive group testing scheme which has been extensively studied in the literature. In some applications, there is a third category of clones called "inhibitors" whose effect is to neutralize

A fault tolerant incremental design methodology

2002 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems. Proceedings (Cat. No.02CH37353), 2003
Incremental design is the widest applied methodology for VLSI design since, it allows one to produce early versions of the system that, even if not satisfying all requirements, allow one to verify its applicability in the field. The migration from, a system version to a more powerful one is based on the substitution of a module with a more powerful ...

Design of a Fault Tolerant FPGA

2000
In this paper we introduce our fault tolerant FPGA and explain the fault tolerant features of our FPGA. They result from the block structure, the cell structure, and the intrablock routing along with a global state machine for testing. The state machine along with comparator detects single stuck-at-zero/one faults in the cell structure and mask them on

A design method for skew tolerant latch design

APCCAS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems, 2008
This paper describes a new design method for skew-tolerant latch design (STLD) and evaluation on a commercial chip design. The conventional edge-triggered flip-flop (FF) design methods using clock synchronization are very practical, since only the timing constraints defined by a given clock frequency are optimized. However, clock skew that has a strong

Designing software components to tolerances

ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 2007
Many traditional engineering designs, other than software, depend on the physical properties of components. Those properties enable the engineer to specify precise tolerances between those components. Software components are abstractions with no inherent physical properties. The absence of physical properties makes it more difficult, but not impossible,

Concurrent tolerance design

Research in Engineering Design, 2015
Technical drawings are constituted by three components that are strongly correlated: the geometry showing the part shape, the dimensions defining the part volume and the tolerances establishing the variability of the two previously described components.

Can design faults be tolerated?

Software & Microsystems, 1984
The short answer to the question posed by the title is “Yes”. A more cautious, and less simplistic, response would be that in certain circumstances, with appropriate provision of redundancy and allied supporting mechanisms, it is certainly possible to provide a measure of tolerance to faults of design.

Tolerance design: Choosing optimal tolerance specifications in the design of machined parts

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 1994
AbstractThis paper provides a general approach for determining tolerances for machined parts which minimizes the combined machining cost and quality cost. We derive a mathematical model which takes into consideration both machining cost and quality cost, which depend on tolerance specifications and the distribution of the machined part dimension ...

Design of Tolerances for Quality

6th International Conference on Design Theory and Methodology, 1994
Abstract Design of a product (process) includes system design, parameter design, and tolerance design. Robust design is closely applicable to parameter design and tolerance design. The current literature on robust design is focused on parameter design while little attention has been paid to tolerance design.
