Due to significant industrial demands toward software systems with increasing complexity
and challenging quality requirements, software architecture design has become an …

Redundancy allocation problem (RAP) has attracted many researchers in recent years as it
is very important aspect in the field of reliability and system engineering. It plays an …

Many real-world critical systems, such as aircraft and human space flight systems, utilize
mission aborts to enhance the survivability of the system. Specifically, the mission objectives …

Many real-world systems, particularly those with limited power resources, are designed with
cold-standby redundancy for achieving fault tolerance and high reliability. Cold-standby …

Offers timely and comprehensive coverage of dynamic system reliability theory This book
focuses on hot issues of dynamic system reliability, systematically introducing the reliability …

This paper models and optimizes a 1-out-of-N: G heterogeneous warm standby system
subject to state-dependent component loading and mission abort policies. For …

We study reliability characteristics of the k-out-of-n warm standby system with identical
components subject to exponential lifetime distributions. We derive state probabilities of the …

With the growth of the radioelectronic complexity and the demand for cutting edge devices,
the need to protect them and increase their reliability is also rising. There are many methods …

Warm standby has been widely applied to power generation systems to ensure safe and
reliable operation with lower energy consumption and shorter leading time compared with …

The virtualization technology, particularly virtual machines (VMs) used in cloud computing
systems have raised unique security and survivability risks for cloud users. This paper …
