A Compound Dependability Measure Arising from Semi-markov Reliability Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A compound dependability measure is proposed and analyzed under the Markovian assumption by Csenki (1996). We ext,end his analysis to the semi-Markov setting and obtain the corresponding closed form expression. The analysis is quite simple and transform-free. The resulting formula has a clear probabilistic interpretation. As a numerical example, we explore the behavior of a multi-mode system with periodic maintenance.

Reliability Measures of Semi-Markov Systems with General State Space
The aim of this paper is to present a systematic modeling of reliability and related measures: availability, maintainability, failure rate, rate of occurrence of failures, mean times, etc., known in the literature under the term dependability. This model includes the continuous and discrete time semi-Markov processes with general state space. This is one of the most general models in reliabilit...
متن کاملSemi-Markov modeling of dependability of VoIP network in the presence of resource degradation and security attacks
Nowadays VoIP has become an evolutionary technology in telecommunications. Hence it is very important to study and enhance its dependability attributes. In this paper, an analytical dependability model for VoIP is proposed. The study is focused on analyzing the combined effects of resource degradation and security breaches on the Quality of Service (QoS) of VoIP, to enhance its overall dependab...
متن کاملSemi-Markov Modeling Approach for Deteriorating Systems with Preventive Maintenance
Software systems experience gradual performance degradation despite of which they are required to perform service, though at a degraded level. Different preventive and corrective techniques (restart, rejuvenation etc.) have been applied to restore efficient service of the system. In this paper, we model the process of degradation together with the corrective actions of minimal repair, major rep...
متن کاملDependability and Security Models (Keynote Paper)
There is a need to quantify system properties methodically. Dependability and security models have evolved nearly independently. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a classification of dependability and security models which can meet the requirement of professionals in both fault-tolerant computing and security community. In this paper, we present a new classification of dependability and secur...
متن کاملNon-Markovian State-Space Models in Dependability Evaluation
The purpose of this paper is to provide an up-to-date treatment of advanced analytic, state-space based techniques to study dependability models with non-exponential distributions. We first provide an overview of different techniques for the solution of non-Markovian state-space based models, including phase-type expansion and a general framework which allows us to deal with renewal, semi-Marko...
