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 …

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 standby systems, when an online working element fails, a replacement procedure is
initiated to activate a standby unit which will take over the mission task to sustain the system …

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) …

Despite the rich body of research on reliability analysis and optimization of warm standby
systems, the existing works have mostly failed to consider the practical storage component …

In this paper, mission reliability, expected mission completion time, and cost of non-
repairable 1-out-of-N: G warm standby sparing systems subject to uneven backup actions …

Cold standby redundancy is a widely-applied design strategy to achieve high system
reliability in numerous applications. To facilitate an effective system recovery in case of an …

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

Warm standby redundancy is an important fault-tolerant design technique for improving the
reliability of many systems used in life-critical or mission-critical applications. Traditional …

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 …
