Decision diagrams are graphical structures based on Shannon's decomposition. They have
been extensively used for representing and manipulating logic functions in areas such as …

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 …

A distinct characteristic of multistate systems (MSS) is that the systems and/or their
components may exhibit multiple performance levels (or states) varying from perfect …

Multistate systems (MSS) are systems in which both the systems, and/or their components
may exhibit multiple performance levels or states. MSS can model complex behaviors such …

This chapter describes the architecture of the example cloud-redundant arrays of
independent disk (RAID) 5 systems and its reliability modelling using multi-state fault trees. It …

This paper introduces a reduction rule for edge-valued multi-valued decision diagrams
(EVMDDs), which improves the speed of analysis of multi-state systems (MSSs). Most …
