A Simplified Method To Calculate Failure Times In Fault-Tolerant Systems, Sharad C. Seth, Lester Lipsky

School of Computing: Faculty Publications

A simplified method is presented to calculate moments of failure time and residual lifetime of a fault-tolerant system. The method is based on recent results in queueing theory. Its effectiveness is illustrated by considering a dual repairable system from the literature.
