''Robust'' means healthy, strong, and durable. IN COMPUTING In Computing terms, robustness is reliability or being available seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. Robustness is an important characteristic of the Internet because Network design is a key factor in the availability of Data . Examples
A robust File Sharing Program may not provide all the desired data all the time but will deliver reliably, matching queries and completing Downloads . Lil makan Robust control system : Central to the development of feedback control theory has been the notion of uncertainty. This arises in two forms: (a) discrepancy between the physical plant and the mathematical model used for controller design, and (b) unmeasured noises and disturbances that act on the physical plant. Feedback is used to desensitise the control system from the effect of both these types of uncertainty. Care must be exercised, however, as feedback in the presence of an uncertain plant can easily lead to instability if due consideration is not given to the way in which this uncertainty modifies the system behaviour. This is the essence of robust control theory. See also Programming , Security , Data Haven . IN STATISTICS A robust statistical test is one that performs well even if its Assumption s are violated by the true model from which the data were generated. IN GENETICS Mutational Robustness describes the extent to which an organism's phenotype remains constant in spite of Mutation . |
