Simulation Methods for Reliability and Availability of Complex Systems discusses the use of computer simulation-based techniques and algorithms to determine reliability and availability (R and A) levels in complex systems. The book: shares theoretical or applied models and decision support systems that make use of simulation to estimate and to improve system R and A levels, forecasts emerging technologies and trends in the use of computer simulation for R and A and proposes hybrid approaches to the development of efficient methodologies designed to solve R and A-related problems in real-life systems.
Dealing with practical issues, Simulation Methods for Reliability and Availability of Complex Systems is designed to support managers and system engineers in the improvement of R and A, as well as providing a thorough exploration of the techniques and algorithms available for researchers, and for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.
The book does an excellent job in presenting theoretical and applied models that use simulation to estimate and improve system reliability and availability levels... Although a significant amount of literature exists on separate topics of simulation, reliability, availability, and maintenance, this book is one of the few that combine these topics in a coherent and constructive manner. Overall, the book provides a well-balanced mix of theory and application, written by a strong contingent of recognized experts from both industry and academia, and written for a diverse audience of practitioners and researchers.

This book is an excellent resource that covers an extensive and diverse range of materials on applying simulation for reliability, availability and maintainability study of complex systems. From basic theory on generating random variables to advanced topics on simulation sampling for rare events; from quality issues on data integration to safety problems on nuclear power plants; this book presents a wide spectrum of knowledge on simulation methods and applications. We are sure readers will benefit from this book.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
