Selective maintenance, which aims to choose a subset of feasible maintenance actions to
be performed for a repairable system with limited maintenance resources, has been …

In many industrial and military environments, systems are required to execute a sequence of
missions with a finite break between two adjacent missions. Due to the limited maintenance …

To enhance system performance, corrective maintenance for failed components and
preventive maintenance (PM) for operating components can be performed simultaneously …

In many real-world applications, a mission may consist of several different tasks or phases
that have to be accomplished in sequence. Such systems are referred to as phased-mission …

Symmetric switching functions (SSFs) play a prominent role in the reliability analysis of a
binary k-out-of-n: G system, which is a dichotomous system that is successful if and only if at …

A multi-state system is a kind of system in which both the system and its components may
display multiple performance levels, and it can be utilized to model more complicated and …

Life critical applications like space missions and flight controls require their computing
systems to be equipped with some fault-tolerance mechanism to meet stringent reliability …

A mathematical description of an examined system such as Multi-State System (MSS)
permits the system reliability to be analyzed in more detail, because the MSS defines some …

Many technical systems are operated under the impact of external factors that may cause the
systems to fail. For such systems, an interesting question is how those external factors and …

It is crucial to evaluate reliability measures of a system over time, so that reliability-related
decisions, such as maintenance planning and warranty policy, can be appropriately made …
