Drones, or UAVs, are developed very intensively. There are many effective applications of
drones for problems of monitoring, searching, detection, communication, delivery, and …

A novel general reliability model optimization model based on mixed redundancy strategy is
proposed for k-out-of-n: G subsystems. In this model, the minimum required component for …

This article presents a new interpretation and formulation of the Reliability–Redundancy
Allocation Problem (RRAP) and demonstrates that solutions to this new problem provide …

Many practical systems are phased-mission systems (PMSs), where the mission consists of
multiple, consecutive, and non-overlapping phases of operation. An accurate reliability …

Offers timely and comprehensive coverage of dynamic system reliability theory This book
focuses on hot issues of dynamic system reliability, systematically introducing the reliability …

This is a survey article that explores six Cloud-based deployment archetypes for Cloud
applications and the tradeoffs between them to achieve high availability, low end-user …

We study reliability characteristics of the k-out-of-n warm standby system with identical
components subject to exponential lifetime distributions. We derive state probabilities of the …

Many real-world systems are heterogeneous k-out-of-n cold standby systems, like
unmanned aerial vehicles performing a reconnaissance mission along multiple routes …

This paper presents a framework for designing a closed-loop green supply chain network
(CLGSCN) that incorporates a redundancy strategy for maximum reliability and eco …

In this paper, we propose a recursive and exact method for reliability evaluation of phased-
mission systems with failures originating from some system elements that can propagate …
