Conditional expectations in the evaluation of fault-tolerant systems

The concept of conditional expectations for comparing fault-tolerant designs is introduced. Specifically, the traditional mean time to failure (MTTF) is shown to be one case of a more general conditional expectation function, E(T/sub f/ mod t/sub l/
