It has been shown that mode transfers can effectively balance the resource consumption
and restoration time of standby systems. However, the existing methods assumed unlimited …

Mode transfers have attracted attention from the standby system community as they can
effectively reduce system downtime. However, the existing models are not applicable to …

Standby redundancy is a design technique that has been widely adopted to enhance system
reliability and achieve fault tolerance in many critical applications. In this paper, we consider …

For some critical applications, successfully accomplishing the mission or surviving the
system through aborting the mission and performing a rescue procedure in the event of …

Safety-critical systems have been widely applied in various practical engineering fields to
perform specific missions. Failures of such systems will lead to significant damage, thus …

This paper models a hybrid standby system subject to periodic inspections and condition-
based standby mode transfers during a mission. At the beginning of the mission only one …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
