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 …

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 …

Intensive research has been devoted to investigating the reliability of standby systems in the
past several decades. The existing models, however, mostly fail to address bounded …

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 …

Research on analysis of replacement time in standby systems has focused on systems with
binary-state standby components. However, when the standby components are multi-state …

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

This paper models an operation and rescue system where upon the failure of the operation
system (if occurring), the rescue system is immediately activated to prevent the entire system …

Many critical systems are designed with the rescue function to possibly survive the system in
the event of the defined mission not being able to continue. Existing models have focused …

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 …
