In real-world mission-critical applications like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the standby
sparing design method is typically applied to enhance the mission success probability …

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 …

Abundant research efforts were devoted to modeling and optimizing mission systems
operating in random shock environments. The existing models assumed that different …

This paper models and optimizes a 1-out-of-N: G heterogeneous warm standby system
subject to state-dependent component loading and mission abort policies. For …

Many real-world critical systems, such as aircraft and human space flight systems, utilize
mission aborts to enhance the survivability of the system. Specifically, the mission objectives …

In many life-critical applications (eg, spacecraft, aircrafts and chemical reactors),
accomplishing a specified mission or aborting mission objectives in the case of certain …

Mission abort has recently attracted considerable attention to enhance the safety of critical
systems during the primary mission (PM). Most of the existing research focuses on mission …

This paper pioneers the modeling and optimization of a 1-out-of-n standby system with a
required mission time and non-identical components, whose operation times are limited and …

Intensive efforts have been devoted to mission aborting systems. However, the existing
models mostly assumed static performance or failed to consider limited resources (eg …

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 …
