Advances in Stochastic Models for Reliablity, Quality and Safety

Fast technological development produces systems of ever-increasing complexity. The demand for reliable functioning of these systems has become more and more important. Thus, there is a need for highly reliable technical devices and systems, for monitoring and controlling their functioning and for planning maintenance and corrective actions to fulfill given requirements considering eco­ nomic limitations. These tasks reflect the wide field of engineering activities that are accompa­ nied by ...
