Simulation of Machine Interference in Randomly Changing Environments
Single-use reliability computation of a semi-Markovian system
Markov chain usage models were successfully used to model systems and software. The most prominent approaches are the so-called failure state models Whittaker and Thomason (1994) and the arc-based Bayesian models Sayre and Poore (2000). In this paper we propose arc-based semi-Markov usage models to test systems. We extend previous studies that rely on the Markov chain assumption to the more general semi-Markovian setting. Among the obtained results we give a closed form representation of the first...

Some examples of non-monotonicities in a two-unit redundant system
A cold-standby redundant sytem with two identical units and one repair facility is considered. Units can be in three states: good , degraded , and failed . It is supposed that only the following state-transitions of a unit are possible: , , , . The paper deals with the comparison of some initial situations of the system and with a stochastical improvement of units (stochastical increase of time of work in state and/or stochastical decrease of times of repairs of the types and/or ) and...
