Basic Research in Reliability for Real Systems

Abstract

The goal of our research is to develop practical models and efficient algorithms to analyze the reliability/availability/maintainability of complex systems in which component failures are statistically dependent and each component is subject to degradations before complete failure. The Cause-Based Multimode Model (CBMM) was developed. Practical and computationally tractable solution methods were designed. In addition, an ordered enumeration approach was developed to solve the network survivability enhancement problem. Preliminary computational experiments showed that this approach is very efficient.
