Active redundancy is an effective technique for improving the mission success probability.
However, more components simultaneously performing the mission implies higher cost and …

Motivated by the demand of increasing the mission success probability, there is a shift of
attention from single-attempt missions to multi-attempt missions in the mission aborting …

Recent reliability literature has extended the investigation of mission abort policies for single-
attempt missions to multi-attempt missions, where the mission task may be attempted …

Motivated by real-world applications of cloud computing and unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs), this paper models a heterogeneous 1-out-of-n standby system with n components …

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

Mission abort is an effective way to enhance system safety during mission execution.
Existing multi-attempt mission abort models can be divided into two main categories …

Despite considerable research efforts devoted to the mission aborting policies for diverse
systems, little work considered the effects of loading and the existing models assumed …

Modeling and optimizing mission abort policies have received intensive research attention
in the past decade. While most of the existing models assumed single-attempt missions, few …
