This book presents a state-of-the-art treatment of complex multi-channel system reliability assessment and provides the requisite tools, techniques and algorithms for designing, evaluating and optimizing ultra-reliable redundant systems. The book's practical presentation includes numerous fully worked examples that provide detailed explanations of both the underlying design principles and the techniques (such as combinatorial and binary decision diagram algorithms) used to obtain quantitative results. Many of the worked examples are based on the design of military digital fly-by-wire control system technology. the book provides in-depth coverage of systems subject to either perfect or imperfect fault coverage and also treats the most recent techniques for correctly assessing the reliability of redundant systems that use mid-value-select voting as their primary means of redundancy management. Critical topics that make this a unique and definitive resource include: * Redundant system analysis for k-out-of-n systems (including complex systems with embedded k-out-of-n structures) involving both perfect and imperfect fault coverage * Imperfect fault coverage analysis techniques, including algorithms for assessing the reliability of redundant systems in which each element is subject to a given coverage value (element level coverage) or in which the system uses voting for failed element selection (fault level coverage) * State-of-the-art binary decision diagram analysis techniques, including the latest and most efficient algorithms for the reliability assessment of large, complex redundant systems This is a one-of-a-kind source for understanding reliability assessment of large, complex redundant systems such as the digital fly-by-wire aircraft control systems used in modern military contexts.
