Oil and gas pipelines are affected by many factors,such as pipe wall thinning and pipeline rupture.Accurate prediction of failure pressure of oil and gas pipelines can provide technical support for pipeline safety management.Aiming at the shortcomings of the BP Neural Network(BPNN)model,such as low learning efficiency,sensitivity to initial weights,and easy falling into a local optimal state,an Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm(ISSA)is adopted to optimize the initial weights and thresholds of BPNN,and an ISSA-BPNN failure pressure prediction model for corroded pipelines is established.Taking 61 sets of pipelines blasting test data as an example,the prediction model was built and predicted by MATLAB software,and compared with the BPNN model,GA-BPNN model,and SSA-BPNN model.The results show that the MAPE of the ISSA-BPNN model is 3.4177%,and the R2 is 0.9880,both of which are superior to its comparison model.Using the ISSA-BPNN model has high prediction accuracy and stability,and can provide support for pipeline inspection and maintenance.

Improved Metaheuristic Based Failure Prediction with Migration Optimization in Cloud Environment

Cloud data centers consume high volume of energy for processing and switching the servers among different modes.Virtual Machine(VM)migration enhances the performance of cloud servers in terms of energy efficiency,internal failures and availability.On the other end,energy utilization can be minimized by decreasing the number of active,underutilized sources which conversely reduces the dependability of the system.In VM migration process,the VMs are migrated from underutilized physical resources to other resources to minimize energy utilization and optimize the operations.In this view,the current study develops an Improved Metaheuristic Based Failure Prediction with Virtual Machine Migration Optimization(IMFP-VMMO)model in cloud environment.The major intention of the proposed IMFP-VMMO model is to reduce energy utilization with maximum performance in terms of failure prediction.To accomplish this,IMFPVMMO model employs Gradient Boosting Decision Tree(GBDT)classification model at initial stage for effectual prediction of VM failures.At the same time,VMs are optimally migrated using Quasi-Oppositional Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm(QO-AFSA)which in turn reduces the energy consumption.The performance of the proposed IMFP-VMMO technique was validated and the results established the enhanced performance of the proposed model.The comparative study outcomes confirmed the better performance of the proposed IMFP-VMMO model over recent approaches.

FP-STE: A Novel Node Failure Prediction Method Based on Spatio-Temporal Feature Extraction in Data Centers

The development of cloud computing and virtualization technology has brought great challenges to the reliability of data center services.Data centers typically contain a large number of compute and storage nodes which may fail and affect the quality of service.Failure prediction is an important means of ensuring service availability.Predicting node failure in cloud-based data centers is challenging because the failure symptoms reflected have complex characteristics,and the distribution imbalance between the failure sample and the normal sample is widespread,resulting in inaccurate failure prediction.Targeting these challenges,this paper proposes a novel failure prediction method FP-STE(Failure Prediction based on Spatio-temporal Feature Extraction).Firstly,an improved recurrent neural network HW-GRU(Improved GRU based on HighWay network)and a convolutional neural network CNN are used to extract the temporal features and spatial features of multivariate data respectively to increase the discrimination of different types of failure symptoms which improves the accuracy of prediction.Then the intermediate results of the two models are added as features into SCSXGBoost to predict the possibility and the precise type of node failure in the future.SCS-XGBoost is an ensemble learning model that is improved by the integrated strategy of oversampling and cost-sensitive learning.Experimental results based on real data sets confirm the effectiveness and superiority of FP-STE.

Failure Prediction Modeling of Lithium Ion Battery toward Distributed Parameter Estimation

Lithium ion battery has typical character of distributed parameter system, and can be described precisely by partial differential equations and multi-physics theory because lithium ion battery is a complicated electrochemical energy storage system. A novel failure prediction modeling method of lithium ion battery based on distributed parameter estimation and single particle model is proposed in this work. Lithium ion concentration in the anode of lithium ion battery is an unmeasurable distributed variable. Failure prediction system can estimate lithium ion concentration online, track the failure residual which is the difference between the estimated value and the ideal value. The precaution signal will be triggered when the failure residual is beyond the predefined failure precaution threshold, and the failure countdown prediction module will be activated. The remaining time of the severe failure threshold can be estimated by the failure countdown prediction module according to the changing rate of the failure residual. A simulation example verifies that lithium ion concentration in the anode of lithium ion battery can be estimated exactly and effectively by the failure prediction model. The precaution signal can be triggered reliably, and the remaining time of the severe failure can be forecasted accurately by the failure countdown prediction module.

Based on the failure prediction methodology, the failure of the critical sheet element is investigated under the non-proportional deformation history. The results show that thiven non-proportional deformation history.

Bayesian serial revision method for RLLC cluster systems failure prediction

Failure prediction plays an important role for many tasks such as optimal resource management in large-scale system. However, accurately failure number prediction of repairable large-scale long-running computing （RLLC） is a challenge because of the reparability and large-scale. To address the challenge, a general Bayesian serial revision prediction method based on Bootstrap approach and moving average approach is put forward, which can make an accurately prediction for the failure number. To demonstrate the performance gains of our method, extensive experiments on the data of Los Alamos National Laboratory （LANL） cluster is implemented, which is a typical RLLC system. And experimental results show that the prediction accuracy of our method is 80.2 %, and it is a greatly improvement with 4 % compared with some typical methods. Finally, the managerial implications of the models are discussed.

Nonlinearly correlated failure analysis and autonomic prediction for distributed systems

In order to achieve failure prediction without manual intervention for distributed systems, a novel failure feature analysis and extraction approach to automate failure prediction is proposed. Compared with the traditional methods which focus on building heuristic rules or models, the autonomic prediction approach analyzes the nonlinear correlation of failure features by recognizing failure patterns. Failure data are sorted according to the nonlinear correlation and failure signature is proposed for autonomic prediction. In addition, the Manifold Learning algorithm named supervised locally linear embedding is applied to achieve feature extraction. Based on the runtime monitoring of failure metrics, the experimental results indicate that the proposed method has better performance in terms of both correlation recognition precision and feature extraction quality and thus it can be used to design efficient autonomic failure prediction for distributed systems.

Empirical Analysis of Software Success Rate Forecasting During Requirement Engineering Processes

Forecasting on success or failure of software has become an interesting and,in fact,an essential task in the software development industry.In order to explore the latest data on successes and failures,this research focused on certain questions such as is early phase of the software development life cycle better than later phases in predicting software success and avoiding high rework?What human factors contribute to success or failure of a software?What software practices are used by the industry practitioners to achieve high quality of software in their day-to-day work?In order to conduct this empirical analysis a total of 104 practitioners were recruited to determine how human factors,misinterpretation,and miscommunication of requirements and decision-making processes play their roles in software success forecasting.We discussed a potential relationship between forecasting of software success or failure and the development processes.We noticed that experienced participants had more confidence in their practices and responded to the questionnaire in this empirical study,and they were more likely to rate software success forecasting linking to the development processes.Our analysis also shows that cognitive bias is the central human factor that negatively affects forecasting of software success rate.The results of this empirical study also validated that requirements’misinterpretation and miscommunication were themain causes behind software systems’failure.It has been seen that reliable,relevant,and trustworthy sources of information help in decision-making to predict software systems’success in the software industry.This empirical study highlights a need for other software practitioners to avoid such bias while working on software projects.Future investigation can be performed to identify the other human factors that may impact software systems’success.

Water System Condition and Asset Replacement Prioritization

The goal of asset management is to identify and track the maintenance and replacement of assets that have reached their useful life. For that reason, gathering data and collecting information is a critical step when developing an asset management plan. Such data gathering includes physical and operational properties of the assets as well as collecting and tracking important events during the lifespan of the asset (i.e., pipe breaks, replacement year, maintenance performed, etc.). Critical factors in the asset management plan may be overlooked when there is no data or poor quality data. However, many utilities lack the resources for examining buried infrastructure and lack good quality work order data, so other methods of data collection are needed. The concept for this paper was to develop a means to acquire data on the assets for a condition assessment to identify pipes that were most likely to break and those with the highest consequences for same. Three utilities were used as examples. It was found that for buried infrastructure, much more information was known than anticipated but the actual predictions relied on only a few factors related to pipe type. However, there is a need to track the consequences, in this case breaks, which would indicate a failure. The latter would be useful for predicting future maintenance needs and the most at-risk assets, but is often missing in utility systems as many utilities do not adequately track breaks sufficiently. In this case two utilities were analyzed and predication on a third was developed.

A data-driven approach for predicting the fatigue life and failure mode of self-piercing rivet joints

In lightweight automotive vehicles,the application of self-piercing rivet(SPR)joints is becoming increasingly widespread.Considering the importance of automotive service performance,the fatigue performance of SPR joints has received considerable attention.Therefore,this study proposes a data-driven approach to predict the fatigue life and failure modes of SPR joints.The dataset comprises three specimen types:cross-tensile,cross-peel,and tensile-shear.To ensure data consistency,a finite element analysis was employed to convert the external loads of the different specimens.Feature selection was implemented using various machine-learning algorithms to determine the model input.The Gaussian process regression algorithm was used to predict fatigue life,and its performance was compared with different kernel functions commonly used in the field.The results revealed that the Matern kernel exhibited an exceptional predictive capability for fatigue life.Among the data points,95.9%fell within the 3-fold error band,and the remaining 4.1%exceeded the 3-fold error band owing to inherent dispersion in the fatigue data.To predict the failure location,various tree and artificial neural network(ANN)models were compared.The findings indicated that the ANN models slightly outperformed the tree models.The ANN model accurately predicts the failure of joints with varying dimensions and materials.However,minor deviations were observed for the joints with the same sheet.Overall,this data-driven approach provided a reliable predictive model for estimating the fatigue life and failure location of SPR joints.

Investigation of FE Model Size Definition for Surface Coating Application

An efficient prediction mechanical performance of coating structures has been a constant concern since the dawn of surface engineering. However, predictive models presented by initial research are normally based on traditional solid mechanics, and thus cannot predict coating performance accurately. Also, the high computational costs that originate from the exclusive structure of surface coating systems （a big difference in the order of coating and substrate） are not well addressed by these models. To fill the needs for accurate prediction and low computational costs, a multi-axial continuum damage mechanics （CDM）-based constitutive model is introduced for the investigation of the load bearing capacity and fracture properties of coatings. Material parameters within the proposed constitutive model are determined for a typical coating （TIN） and substrate （Cu） system. An efficient numerical subroutine is developed to implement the determined constitutive model into the commercial FE solver, ABAQUS, through the user-defined subroutine, VUMAT. By changing the geometrical sizes of FE models, a series of computations are carried out to investigate （1） loading features, （2） stress distributions, and （3） failure features of the coating system. The results show that there is a critical displacement corresponding to each FE model size, and only if the applied normal loading displacement is smaller than the critical displacement, a reasonable prediction can be achieved. Finally, a 3D map of the critical displacement is generated to provide guidance for users to determine an FE model with suitable geometrical size for surface coating simulations. This paper presents an effective modelling approach for the prediction of mechanical performance of surface coatings.

A disk failure prediction model for multiple issues

Disk failure prediction methods have been useful in handing a single issue,e.g.,heterogeneous disks,model aging,and minority samples.However,because these issues often exist simultaneously,prediction models that can handle only one will result in prediction bias in reality.Existing disk failure prediction methods simply fuse various models,lacking discussion of training data preparation and learning patterns when facing multiple issues,although the solutions to different issues often conflict with each other.As a result,we first explore the training data preparation for multiple issues via a data partitioning pattern,i.e.,our proposed multi-property data partitioning(MDP).Then,we consider learning with the partitioned data for multiple issues as learning multiple tasks,and introduce the model-agnostic meta-learning(MAML)framework to achieve the learning.Based on these improvements,we propose a novel disk failure prediction model named MDP-MAML.MDP addresses the challenges of uneven partitioning and difficulty in partitioning by time,and MAML addresses the challenge of learning with multiple domains and minor samples for multiple issues.In addition,MDP-MAML can assimilate emerging issues for learning and prediction.On the datasets reported by two real-world data centers,compared to state-of-the-art methods,MDP-MAML can improve the area under the curve(AUC)and false detection rate(FDR)from 0.85 to0.89 and from 0.85 to 0.91,respectively,while reducing false alarm rate(FAR)from 4.88%to 2.85%.

Machine learning job failure analysis and prediction model for the cloud environment

Reliable and accessible cloud applications are essential for the future of ubiquitous computing,smart appliances,and electronic health.Owing to the vastness and diversity of the cloud,a most cloud services,both physical and logical services have failed.Using currently accessible traces,we assessed and characterized the behaviors of successful and unsuccessful activities.We devised and implemented a method to forecast which jobs will fail.The proposed method optimizes cloud applications more efficiently in terms of resource usage.Using Google Cluster,Mustang,and Trinity traces,which are publicly available,an in-depth evaluation of the proposed model was conducted.The traces were also fed into several different machine learning models to select the most reliable model.Our efficiency analysis proves that the model performs well in terms of accuracy,F1-score,and recall.Several factors,such as failure of forecasting work,design of scheduling algorithms,modification of priority criteria,and restriction of task resubmission,may increase cloud service dependability and availability.
