To comprehensively consider the effects of strength degeneration and failure correlation, an
improved stress–strength interference (SSI) model is proposed to analyze the reliability of …

Small sample size is often a limitation in reliability field tests for expensive, destructive
systems, which makes it difficult to evaluate system reliability accurately. A new system's …

Due to the highly dynamic feature, dependable workflow scheduling is critical in the Grid
environment. Various scheduling algorithms have been proposed, but seldom consider the …

Given the first n successive occurence times from a non-homogeneous Poisson process
with a power-law intensity function, Bayes prediction intervals for future observations are …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to provide the maintenance personnel with a
methodology for modeling and estimating the reliability of critical machine systems using the …

Non-homogenous Poisson process,{N (t), t> 0\} under time-truncated sampling scheme is
