Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P., Idowu, O., & Periorellis, P. (2006). Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems. In AISB'06: Network Analysis in Natural Sciences and Engineering

Fault tolerance is a key aspect of the dependability of complex computer-based systems. Fault tolerance may be difficult to measure directly in complex real world systems, and we propose here to measure it in terms of integrity preservation of the sy...

Cortical dynamics can be recorded in various ways. Theoretical works suggest that analyzing the dynamics of recorded activities might reveal the workings of the underlying neural system. Here we describe the extraction of an activity pattern language... Read More about The language of cortical dynamics.
