Redundancy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Redundancy, in general terms, refers to the quality or state of being redundant, that is: exceeding what is necessary or normal, containing an excess. Redundancy (law) - a reason for dismissal of an employee in the UK The term redundancy is used, with variations on the above meanings, in the following fields: en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Redundancy

4.2 Redundancy Management The major concern in managing space redundancy is the elimination of failures caused by a fault to a function or resource that is common to all of the space-redundant units. In the figure, time redundancy is not capable of tolerating the permanent fault in the top processing resource, but is adequate to tolerate the transient fault in the lower resource. Second, since digital systems encode information as symbols, they can include redundancy in the coding scheme for the symbols. hissa.nist.gov /chissa/SEI_Framework/framework_16.html

redundancy and entropy Remember that Shannon defined redundancy as 'the fraction of the structure of the message which is determined not by the choice of the sender, but rather by the accepted statistical rules governing the choice of the symbols in question'. So, in his exploration of redundancy in the English spelling system, Shannon is first forced to consider digrams: after the first letter is chosen the next one is chosen in accordance with the frequencies with which the various letters follow the first one. Redundancy is generally a force for the status quo and against change. www.cultsock.ndirect.co.uk /MUHome/cshtml/introductory/redund.html

REDUNDANCY In the process of communication redundancy is essential to combat noise, to assure reliability and to maintain a communication channel. English writing is estimated to be 50% redundant which accounts for the ability of native speakers to detect and correct typing errors. Parity checks, which are common in communication within computers, enhance reliability but only at the expense of using additional channel capacity. pespmc1.vub.ac.be /ASC/REDUNDANCY.html

Bambooweb: Redundancy The law requires the employer to make a statutory redundancy payment, which is tax-free and is based on the employee's length of service, as long as the employee has served a minimum of two years. In employment law, redundancy is the dismissal of an employee when his or her job becomes unnecessary. In information theory, redundancy is the number of bits used to transmit a message minus the number of bits of actual information in the message. www.bambooweb.com /articles/r/e/Redundancy.html

Redundancy Because redundancy is a form of dismissal, you will still be entitled to your statutory or contractual period of notice of dismissal, if your employer plans to make you redundant (see under heading How much is a statutory redundancy payment). Redundancy may also arise if an employer reorganises the business to improve its efficiency, so that fewer people are needed to do the same amount of work. A redundancy situation may arise where a business continues to operate but there is no longer a need for the skills for which the employee was taken on. www.adviceguide.org.uk /nm/index/life/employment/redundancy.htm

Irish Redundancy Payments Scheme from Finfacts Ireland A redundancy situation arises where an employee's job ceases to exist, and he or she is not replaced for such reasons as rationalisation /reorganisation, not enough work available, the financial state of the firm, company closures etc. Disputes concerning redundancy payments can be submitted to the Employment Appeals Tribunal which has the advantage of providing a speedy, fair, inexpensive and informal means for individuals to seek remedies for alleged infringements of their statutory redundancy rights. Employers who pay their workers their redundancy entitlement and give them proper notice of being made redundant (at least two weeks) are entitled to a 60% Rebate from the Social Insurance Fund, into which they make regular payments themselves through P.R.S.I. contributions. www.finfacts.ie /Private/personel/redundancy.htm

REDUNDANCY: HR Bullets - Simplifying employment law for you A redundancy can therefore occur where the workforce is reorganised and there is less work; when changes in conditions mean that the old job is quite different from the new one; and when work is put out to contact. Under new statutory discipline and grievance procedures employers must now set out the circumstances surrounding redundancy action, invite the employee to a meeting before any action is taken and advise them of their right to appeal. The test for redundancy is whether the employer requires fewer (or no) workers to do work of a particular kind and not just whether the work itself has ceased or diminished. www.hrbullets.com /redundancy.shtml

CommsDesign - Redundancy: Choosing the Right Option for Net Designs With node-level redundancy, it is possible to use load balancing by sending the traffic to a different next hop so that it follows an alternate path to the destination. A key consideration with redundancy is whether the alternate or redundant element (component, link or path) is used during normal operation. The basic premise of redundancy is the use of additional components to take over for the active component when the active component fails. www.commsdesign.com /showArticle.jhtml?articleID=25600515

redundancy A well known example of this is the cyclic redundancy check which adds redundant data to a block in order to detect corruption during storage or transmission. Redundancy can also be used to detect and recover from errors, either in hardware or software. in a safety-critical system, redundancy may be used in both hardware AND software with three separate computers programmed by three separate teams and some system to check that they all produce the same answer, or some kind of majority voting system. www.linuxguruz.com /foldoc/foldoc.php?redundancy

Redundancy From there, he explored the effects of adding various forms of redundancy and probability-coding on the overall transmission rate or bandwidth. From there, I will look at messages, not as units of communication, but as individual patterns which have measures of redundancy and uniqueness within themselves. This paper attempts to elucidate a tentative theory of the relationship between redundancy and uniqueness as they apply to simple 'patterns' or 'blocks of information'. home.earthlink.net /~sroof/Abraxas/sar/redund/redundan.htm

w4mp guides redundancy If redundancy is confirmed you may receive a statutory redundancy payment from central funds (not the winding up allowance). If you are entitled to a statutory redundancy payment you may also receive an additional redundancy payment from your Member’s winding up allowance to enhance this. There's more on redundancy on the Department of Finance and Administration Intranet page; access available from the Parliamentary Intranet home page as usual. w4mp.org /html/library/guides/0408_redundancy.asp

SkyX® User's Guide - Chapter 6 - Redundancy SkyX redundancy is based on a periodic heartbeat by all active units that allows detection and automatic replacement of any failed units by separate backup units. This can be used in a unique n:0 redundancy configuration where no additional hardware is required to protect against a single point-of-failure (see Section 6.6). To understand how SkyX redundancy operates, it is useful to first consider the equivalent non-redundant configuration. www.mentat.com /manuals/GATEWAY_CHAPTERS_V9/CHAP6.HTML

Investigating Load Redundancy Value prediction does not catch all cases of redundancy. If the prediction is that the load is redundant, speculatively execute dependent instructions as if the value to be loaded was correct (but save the current state in case the speculation is wrong). If we could speculatively bypass the load when it was suspected to be redundant (and of course clear the pipeline later if the speculation turned out to be incorrect), this could result in a significant gain in performance. www.cs.cmu.edu /~chaki/740proj/index_old.html

redundancy. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000. Although certain vernacular constructions, such as the double comparative and superlative constructions (as in more higher and most fastest) are scorned as unschooled redundancies, many fundamental features of Standard English, such as subject-verb agreement, also manifest redundancy in their double marking. For example, in She sits on the chair, the –s inflection on sit indicates that the subject of the sentence is a third-person-singular form. Subject pronouns are nominative, and direct object pronouns are objective (for example, I saw him and He saw me); these distinctive forms are technically not necessary, however, since normal English word order makes evident whether a pronoun refers to a subject or object. www.bartleby.com /61/84/R0108400.html

RFC 2338 (rfc2338) - Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is designed to eliminate the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment. This has the effect of load balancing the outgoing traffic, while also providing full redundancy. A side effect when these assumptions are violated (i.e., more than two redundant paths all with equal preference) is that duplicate packets may be forwarded for a brief period during Master election. www.faqs.org /rfcs/rfc2338.html

Changekey Partnership - Redundancy & Outplacement It is our experience that individuals affected by redundancy are more likely to find the route to their own success much more quickly than those who have not had Outplacement Support. Research suggests that companies and organisations that offer outplacement and redundancy support to their loyal staff often fare better in the long term than companies that do not. On a practical note, for clients of our Outplacement and Redundancy Counselling services, we coach and give advice on techniques to win the interview using CCTV among other techniques and also help to create a job-specific professional CV to enable them to get the job in the career you deserve. redundancy.changekeypartnership.co.uk

NCHRP Project 12-47, Redundancy in Highway Bridge Substructures NCHRP Project 12-47, "Redundancy in Highway Bridge Substructures," was initiated to extend the methodology developed in NCHRP Project 12-36, "Redundancy in Bridge Superstructures," to bridge substructures. The current report fully documents the methodology used to develop and calibrate a process for quantifying redundancy in bridge substructures and for calculating appropriate adjustment factors to maintain a uniform level of structural reliability. The requirements, however, in some cases, are subjective, and the specifications recognize the importance of continued research to provide improved quantification of redundancy in bridge structural systems. www4.nationalacademies.org /trb/crp.nsf/All+Projects/NCHRP+12-47

Redundancy As the single worldwide repository for macromolecular structures, the Protein Data Bank holds a body of data that contains considerable redundancy in regard to both sequence and structure. We have incorporated into the query interface the ability to select a subset of structures from which similar sequences have been largely removed. The number of non-redundant sequences at each level of sequence identity is shown in the following table: www.rcsb.org /pdb/redundancy.html
