About this title

Review

'The book is a very wide-ranging and thorough treatise on the solution of difficult problems in reliability optimization. A huge field of work is covered on many and varied problems for which it is often extremely difficult to find practical solutions. The writing is clear and careful and reflects the pooled expertise of the four authors. I would recommend this book for both learning and reference.' M. Crowder, International Statistical Institute

'... the book provides a detailed introduction to the fundamentals and applications of systems reliability and reliability optimisation ... I found the book excellent ... I highly recommend the book as a textbook for graduate courses in reliability engineering and operations research ... a valuable reference book for practising engineers and even for anyone seeking to know about reliability optimisation.' A. Saidane, Microelectronics Journal

Book Description

This book, first published in 2000, is an introduction to systems reliability and reliability optimization. Techniques for maximizing system reliability are described. The authors present several case studies, showing how optimization techniques are applied in practice. They also pay particular attention to finding methods that give the optimal trade-off between reliability and cost.
