Description
Summary:This reference covers the extent of the state-of-the-art in optimizing systems reliability. The book consists of fifteen chapters and an appendix. The main part of the book is organized by problem type and solution method. Some of the topics covered include: redundancy allocation methods using heuristics, dynamic programming solutions and discrete optimization methods; reliability optimization using nonlinear programming and meta-heuristic algorithms; and methods to solve reliability-redundancy optimization. The book may serve as a textbook for students or as a reference for researchers and practitioners. It is a comprehensive book that is recommended for anyone concerned with designing reliable systems.
