Some Alternative Approaches to System Reliability Modeling

  • Chapter
Recent Advances in Reliability and Quality in Design

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Reliability Engineering ((RELIABILITY))

Abstract

This work contains a review and development of the ideas concerning some alternative methods in stochastic modeling of reliability we worked on the last decade. Part of the presented material is published for the first time. Another part which has already appeared or will appear in the coming months, now is presented in a newer, “simpler” way, as our teaching experience on that has grown during many professional discussions.
