Availability Measure

In this work it is proposed a model for the assessment of availability measure of fault tolerant systems based on the integration of continuous time semi-Markov processes and Bayesian belief networks. This integration results in a hybrid stochastic model that is able to represent the dynamic characteristics of a system as well as to deal with cause-effect relationships among external factors such as environmental and operational conditions. The hybrid model also allows for uncertainty propagation on the system availability. It is also proposed a numerical procedure for the solution of the state probability equations of semi-Markov processes described in terms of transition rates. The numerical procedure is based on the application of Laplace transforms that are inverted by the Gauss quadrature method known as Gauss Legendre. The hybrid model and numerical procedure are illustrated by means of an example of application in the context of fault tolerant systems.

Semi Markov Processes

This paper is concerned with the characterization of the cumulative pensionable service over an individual's working life that is made up of random lengths of service in different employments in a given industry, under partial coverage, transferability, and a uniform vesting rule. This characterization uses some results that are developed in the paper involving a functional and cumulative constrained sojourn times (constrained in the sense that if a sojourn time is less than a given constant it is not counted) in semi-Markov processes.
