Overview

Simulation Methods for Reliability and Availability of Complex Systems discusses the use of computer simulation-based techniques and algorithms to determine reliability and availability (R and A) levels in complex systems. The book: shares theoretical or applied models and decision support systems that make use of simulation to estimate and to improve system R and A levels, forecasts emerging technologies and trends in the use of computer simulation for R and A and proposes hybrid approaches to the development of efficient methodologies designed to solve R and A-related problems in real-life systems.

Dealing with practical issues, Simulation Methods for Reliability and Availability of Complex Systems is designed to support managers and system engineers in the improvement of R and A, as well as providing a thorough exploration of the techniques and algorithms available for researchers, and for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Reviews

<p>The book does an excellent job in presenting theoretical and applied models that use simulation to estimate and improve system reliability and availability levels... Although a significant amount of literature exists on separate topics of simulation, reliability, availability, and maintenance, this book is one of the few that combine these topics in a coherent and constructive manner. Overall, the book provides a well-balanced mix of theory and application, written by a strong contingent of recognized experts from both industry and academia, and written for a diverse audience of practitioners and researchers.<p>Scott E.
