Reliability and Availability Assessment
Kishor S. Trivedi
Abstract
Given heavy dependence on man-made systems in our daily lives, reliability and availability of these systems clearly gain great importance. Together with methods of enhancing reliability and availability of systems, methods of quantitative assessment of these attributes thus needs attention. Quantification of these attributes via analytic-numeric solution of a probability model based on a deep understanding of system's failure/repair dynamics is briefly discussed in this article.
