Abstract

A cascading failure is a failure in a system of interconnected parts, in which the breakdown of one element leads to the subsequent collapse of the others. Cascading failures usually begin when one part of the system fails. When this happens, remaining components must then take up the slack for the failed component. This in turn overloads these components, causing them to fail as well, prompting additional components to fail one after another.
