      Encoded dynamics for fault tolerance linear finite-state machines 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Verghese, G. C. (2002)
      This note discusses fault tolerance in linear finite-state machines (LFSMs). By replacing a given LFSM with a larger, redundant LFSM that preserves the state of the original one in some linearly encoded form, various ...

      Encoded finite-state machines for non-concurrent error detection and identification 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2003)
      In this paper we develop a methodology for systematically constructing redundant finite-state machines in a way that enables an external mechanism to detect and identify transient state-transition faults by performing ...

      Encoding planning problems in nonmonotonic logic programs 

      Dimopoulos, Yannis; Nebel, B.; Koehler, J. (1997)
      We present a framework for encoding planning problems in logic programs with negation as failure, having computational efficiency as our major consideration. In order to accomplish our goal, we bring together ideas from ...

      Fault-tolerant computation in groups and semigroups: Applications to automata, dynamic systems and Petri nets 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Verghese, G. C. (2002)
      The traditional approach to fault-tolerant computation has been via modular hardware redundancy. Although universal and simple, modular redundancy is inherently expensive and inefficient. By exploiting particular structural ...

      Fault-tolerant discrete-time linear time-invariant filters 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2000)
      Modular redundancy, the traditional approach to fault tolerance, is prohibitively expensive because of the overhead in replicating the hardware. In this paper we discuss alternative methods for obtaining fault-tolerant ...

      Fault-tolerant dynamic systems 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Verghese, G. C. (2000)
      We use unreliable system replicas and unreliable voters to construct redundant dynamic systems that tolerate transient failures in their state transition and error correcting mechanisms. Using low density parity check ...
