Abstract System reliability optimization problems have been widely discussed to maximize
system reliability with resource constraints. Birnbaum importance is a well-known method for …

Increased safety has been advocated as one of the major benefits of the introduction of
Automated Driving Systems (ADSs). Incorporation of ADSs in vehicles means that …

Many practical systems need to fulfill their mission in multiple phases, where the system in
different phases may have to perform different tasks undergoing different environmental …

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

Mission aborting has recently attracted great attention, where mission abort rules (MARs)
have been modeled and optimized for different types of technological systems aiming to …

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 …

Phased-mission systems widely exist in many real-world systems such as communication
networks, aerospace and unmanned aerial vehicles. The reliability modeling and analysis of …

In many industrial and aerospace systems, multiple and non-overlapping phases of
operations must be performed consecutively, and each phase is performed by a different …

Abstract Systems that have multiple consecutive and non-overlapping phases of operations
during their missions are referred to as phased-mission systems (PMSs). Previous research …

Mission aborting aims to survive a system and avert catastrophic damages caused by the
loss of the system. However, the effectiveness of mission aborting depends heavily on the …
