Books in the Series on Quality, Reliability and Engineering Statistics series

Provides a basic illustration of some methods used in reliability and risk analysis for modelling the stochastic failure and repair behaviour of systems. This work offers an introduction to key issues of system reliability and risk analysis, like dependent failures and importance measures.

As our modern information-age society grows in complexity both in terms of embedded systems and applications, the problems and challenges in reliability become ever more complex. This volume presents a picture of research on system modeling and optimization in reliability and its applications.

Provides an introduction to the principal concepts and issues related to the safety of modern industrial activities. This work also illustrates the classical techniques for reliability analysis and risk assessment used in modern practice.

Reliability and safety are fundamental attributes of any modern technological system. This book gives an opportunity to familiarize with the applications of classical and advanced techniques of reliability and risk analysis.
