Redundancy (engineering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In engineering, the duplication of critical components of a system with the intention of increasing reliability of the system, usually in the case of a backup or fail-safe, is called redundancy.   Redundancy Management Technique for Space Shuttle Computers (PDF), IBM Research In a triply redundant system, the system has three sub components, all three of which must fail before the system fails. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Redundancy_(engineering)   (175 words)

Redundancy - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia In engineering, redundancy is the duplication of critical components of a system with the intention of increasing reliability of the system. In employment law, redundancy is the dismissal of an employee when his or her job becomes unnecessary. 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. encyclopedia.learnthis.info /r/re/redundancy.html   (213 words)

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   (154 words)

1999 Summary of Engineering Research - Civil and Environmental Engineering The redundancy concept in structural engineering has been used often, but there is also misunderstanding of the concept and interpretation when there is uncertainty in both loading and structural resistance. Redundancy provided by different lateral force-resisting frames and redundancy of system in case of partial failure of structural components such as steel moment frame connections observed in 1994 Northridge earthquake, are examined. The definition of redundancy in terms of probability of failure under random static loads is extended to dynamic loads. www.engr.uiuc.edu /publications/engineering_research/1999/pg000068.htm   (475 words)

Reliability Modeling The actual decision for the system redundancy could also be dictated by other engineering constraints, for example the safety requirements might mandate a 2 out of 3 voting redundancy for critical system components. In this case, the active redundancy, all of the redundant elements are utilised by the system, e.g. Redundancy or back-up mechanisms will enhance the reliability of a system, but augment the Life Cycle Support (LCC). www.mtain.com /relia/relmod.htm   (741 words)

PR907148 The terms agreed provided for a higher level of redundancy and severance benefits than the TCR standard prescribed by the otherwise applicable award, the Metal, Engineering and Associated Industries Award 1998 - Part I Amounts later paid by the Administrator to the nine individuals in respect of redundancy entitlements were based on the lower rate of severance benefit prescribed by the ME and AI Award. One effect of setting the Consent Award aside would be to reduce the redundancy entitlement of the relevant employees and thereby increase the "overpayment" claimed by the Administrator to $4,000 in each instance. www.airc.gov.au /decisionssigned/html/PR907148.htm   (5796 words)

Reliability-Engineering Approach to the Problem of Biological Aging. IABG Congress - 2003 From the reliability perspective, the increase in initial redundancy levels is the simplest way to improve survival at particularly early reproductive ages (with gains fading at older ages). In other words, aging might be largely driven by a process of redundancy loss [5,9]. The theory also suggests that research on aging should not be limited to the studies of qualitative changes (such as age-related changes in gene expression), because changes in quantity in (numbers of cells and other functional elements) could be an important driving force of the aging process. longevity-science.org /IABG-Gavrilov.html   (1758 words)

SIMPLICITY AND POWER In this case a small amount of redundancy is introduced into a knowledge structure as a means of achieving a relatively large reduction in redundancy: structure sharing only makes sense if the material to be shared is bigger than the identifier used to achieve the sharing. The idea that 'elegance' or 'prettiness' in design are closely bound up with the extraction of redundancy in information is not in conflict with the well-known uses of redundancy in computing systems to increase speed of processing or the reliability of systems or both. Redundancy extraction may be achieved more generally by pattern matching and the search (by hill climbing or equivalent process) for as much unification as possible. cognitionresearch.org.uk /papers/early/cj_1990/cj_1990_html/spdoc1.html   (13076 words)

Redundancy: Engineering vs. Miss Manners I don’t doubt that a case could be made (or has been made) for redundancy being essential to the existence and evolution of the physical universe as well, before life took hold.

About Us at Software Engineering Lean redundancy is a concept were the product cost is minimized but still obtaining fault tolerance (but with longer latency times and more development effort required). This research is expected to result in new cost efficient fault detection methods with high coverage that require a minimum of hardware redundancy. Applied to the area of automotive electronics the reserach aims at explore lean redundancy techniques for deployment in vehicle control applications without compromising the real safety. www.ce.chalmers.se /research/group/se/about.htm   (617 words)

Selected Simplex References The theory of analytic redundancy is presented and the use of analytic redundancy to support the tolerance of software faults and the safe on-line evolution of dependable systems is reviewed. The idea is based on redundancy of the controller software with a complementary reliable/high-performance structure that exploits a significant disparity between the two systems. Key engineering decisions made during the modeling process and a work breakdown of the effort are also presented. www.sei.cmu.edu /simplex/references/simplex_references.html   (6383 words)

Achieving Software Robustness Via Large-Scale Multiagent Systems It then develops the hypothesis that robust software can be achieved through redundancy, where the redundancy is achieved by agents that have di®erent algorithms but similar responsibilities. This paper describes how multiagent systems can be used to achieve robust software, one of the major goals of software engineering. The agents are produced by wrapping conventional algorithms with a minimal set of agent capabilities, which we specify. jmvidal.ece.sc.edu /lib/huhns03a.html   (214 words)

EAT - Bamsey Vs Albion Engineering - Aylward v Glamorgan Holiday Hotel - Holiday Pay - Redundancy - Working TIme Regulations 1998 - Employment Rights Act 1996 - LegalDay Accordingly they were not redundant and could not claim a redundancy payment. The EAT upheld the tribunal's decision that they were not redundant within the meaning of s139 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. There was no diminution in the need for employees to carry out work of a particular kind; the same number of employees were still needed, even if they were needed for fewer weeks in the year. www.legalday.co.uk /lexnex/danielb/DB160403.htm   (292 words)

How long before superintelligence? There seems to be great redundancy in the brain; synchronous firing of large pools of neurons is often required if the signal is not to drown in the general noise. It is hard to see any reason to suppose that the redundancy in the retina should be greater than in the cortex. Neuroscience and neuromorphic engineering are proceeding at a rapid clip, however. www.nickbostrom.com /superintelligence.html   (6953 words)

Electrical Engineering at UTA First, the controllable redundancy of the projection stage offers a balance between degree of shift sensitivity and transform redundancy. We exploit this flexibility to create the Complex Double-density DWT (CDDWT): a shift-insensitive, directional, complex wavelet transform with a low redundancy of $\frac{3^m - 1}{2^m - 1}$ in $m$ dimensions. The second advantage of our approach is the flexibility to use \emph{any} DWT in the transform implementation. www-ee.uta.edu /TexasSysDay/Felix.htm   (303 words)
