Research in Reliability, Availability and Maintainability for Complex Failure Systems

Abstract

This report presents an overview of work performed on AFOSR Grant 84- 0140 by G.S. Fishman, V.G. Kulkarni and J.S. Provan during the period June 1, 1984 through November 30, 1989 in the Department of Operations Research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This grant was awarded to the three principal investigators in response to their submitted proposal to AFOSR's 1983 initiative in reliability. The work performed on this grant has focused on developing efficient methods of evaluating reliability. This topic is approached through medium of Monte Carlo experimentation, the exploitation of special probabilistic structure and special network structure. Parts I, II and III describe the contributions of each principal investigator separately. (JHD)
