Traditional standby system models have mostly assumed that each element can be online
and used once during the mission time. In practice especially when a long mission task is …

In many industrial and technological systems, due to factors such as deterioration, corrosion,
attacks, etc., preventive replacement is typically performed according to a predetermined …

This paper models a real-time warm standby system that has to accomplish a specified
amount of task by a hard deadline. The system is subject to corrective replacements (CRs) …

Reliability modeling and optimization of warm standby systems have attracted considerable
research attentions in the past decade due to their wide use in diverse critical applications …

Intensive research efforts have been dedicated to reliability analysis and optimization of
standby systems. However, only few of the existing models allow a system element to be …

This paper models a dual-unit standby system with non-identical, reusable units that perform
the mission task alternatively according to a pre-specified replacement and maintenance …

This paper models and optimizes the replacement and maintenance schedule (RMS) for a
heterogeneous two-unit standby system. The system must accomplish a specified amount of …

Recent studies have shown that elements reusing through preventive replacements is
beneficial in enhancing the mission success probability (MSP) of standby systems. While …

Recent studies have shown that reusing standby elements during the mission may improve
the mission success probability significantly. However, such a benefit cannot be effectively …

This paper models a hybrid standby system subject to periodic inspections and condition-
based standby mode transfers during a mission. At the beginning of the mission only one …
