Optimal Reliability Design is a detailed introduction to systems reliability and reliability
optimization. State-of-the-art techniques for maximizing system reliability are described …

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the state of the art on models and methods for
reliability optimization problems (ROPs) including reliability allocation, redundancy …

This paper provides: an overview of the methods that have been developed since 1977 for
solving various reliability optimization problems; applications of these methods to various …

The industrial world is subject to various risks, whether traditional (technical, economic, or
societal risks) or emerging (informational or psychosocial risks). According to the …

The reliability literature offers an abundance of methods for the optimal design of systems
under some constraints. In most of the papers, the problem considered is: given reliabilities …

This paper revisits the redundancy allocation problem (RAP) from the viewpoint of the mixed
redundancy strategy. This powerful strategy has some major weaknesses originated from its …

A new heuristic is proposed and tested for system reliability optimization. The multiple
weighted objective heuristic is based on a transformation of the problem into a multiple …

The redundancy allocation problem, which seeks to find the optimal allocation of
redundancy that maximizes system reliability, is one of the representative problems in …

Reliability has become a greater concern in recent years, because high-tech industrial
processes with ever increasing levels of sophistication comprise most engineering systems …
