  2. Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Protocol_for...

    In computing, SPICE (the Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments) is a remote-display system built for virtual environments which allows users to view a computing "desktop" environment – not only on its computer-server machine, but also from anywhere on the Internet – using a wide variety of machine architectures.

  3. List of failed and overbudget custom software projects

    eHealth Ontario is a group of projects that replaced a previous failed project, Smart Systems for Health, which "spent $650 million but failed to produce anything of lasting value." However, in 2009 the CEO of the eHealth Ontario agency resigned, followed by the government minister responsible for overseeing the agency, after a scandal over ...

    Fatigue failure always begins at a crack that may form over time or due to the manufacturing process used. The three stages of fatigue failure are: Crack initiation- when repeated stress creates a fracture in the material being used; Crack propagation- when the initiated crack develops in the material to a larger scale due to tensile stress.

    They include corrosion, welding of contacts due to an abnormal electric current, return spring fatigue failure, unintended command failure, dust accumulation and blockage of mechanism, etc. Seldom only one cause (hazard) can be identified that creates system failures. The real root causes can in theory in most cases be traced back to some kind ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worst-case_circuit_analysis

    In addition to a circuit analysis, a WCCA often includes stress and derating analysis, failure modes and effects criticality and reliability prediction . The specific objective is to verify that the design is robust enough to provide operation which meets the system performance specification over design life under worst-case conditions and ...

  7. Single-event upset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-event_upset

    Single-event upsets were first described during above-ground nuclear testing, from 1954 to 1957, when many anomalies were observed in electronic monitoring equipment.. Further problems were observed in space electronics during the 1960s, although it was difficult to separate soft failures from other forms of interfe

  8. Failure mode and effects analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_mode_and_effects...

    Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA; often written with "failure modes" in plural) is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects. For each component, the failure modes and their resulting effects on the rest of the system ...
