Review of Simulation Approaches in Reliability and Availability Modeling

Simulation, or more specifically numerical simulation, is a very powerful tool for modeling of engineering, social, business, life science and other systems where the traditional analytical or graphical techniques become very complex, especially if some of the system variables have stochastic nature. Simulation has been applied for solving problems in reliability engineering also. In this paper...

Reliability and Availability Analysis of Fusion Power Plants

Major efforts are underway to develop fusion energy for use in electric power production in the furture. While fusion reactor concepts are being developed, appropriate attention must be given to problems relvant to the utility requirements which are likely to be encountered in the commercialization phase. In this paper the expected fusion plant availability is assessed in detail due to the impo...

Reliability and Availability Design Issues for LANs

In many businesses, LANs have displaced older, paper-based methods of doing work, and these organizations now depend on the reliability and availability of their computer networks for the continuity and efficiency of daily operations. Reliability refers to a LAN's capacity to operate despite failures in communications links and equipment. Availability is a measure of performance; it refers to t...

Method of reliability and availability analysis

Confronted to the increasing dynamic of Internet routing system and its underlying topology, we propose a reliability and availability analysis method based on the characterization of the dynamic properties (in particular, the stability properties) of routing paths and their corresponding forwarding paths. The key driver underlying this method is that transient but frequent changes in the spati...
