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 …

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 …

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

In this paper, mission reliability, expected mission completion time, and cost of non-
repairable 1-out-of-N: G warm standby sparing systems subject to uneven backup actions …

For some engineering systems performing a mission with long duration, the component
positions and working intensity can be dynamically adjusted to improve the efficiency of …

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 …

In many real-world safety-critical applications, a rescue procedure aimed at saving a system
can be activated after its failure to execute a primary mission. For such systems, it is …

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 …

This work considers a system consisting of two overlapping subsets of components.
Availability of all components composing the subsets is required for performing the primary …

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