Simulation methods for system reliability using the survival signature [PDF]
Recently, the survival signature has been presented as a summary of the structure function which is sufficient for computation of common reliability metrics and has the crucial advantage that it can be applied to systems with components whose failure times are not exchangeable. The survival signature provides a huge reduction in required information, e.

Marginal and joint reliability importance based on survival signature [PDF]
Abstract Marginal and joint reliability importance measures have been found to be useful in optimal system design. Various importance measures have been defined and studied for a variety of system models. The results in the literature are mostly based on the assumption that the components within the system are independent or identical.

Imprecise system reliability and component importance based on survival signature [PDF]
The concept of the survival signature has recently attracted increasing attention for performing reliability analysis on systems with multiple types of components. It opens a new pathway for a structured approach with high computational efficiency based on a complete probabilistic description of the system.

A heuristic survival signature based approach for reliability-redundancy allocation
Abstract In recent research, the major focus on reliability-redundancy allocation problems has been on the possibility of using more efficient and effective algorithms to improve convergence speed and solution accuracy of the optimization model. But the model of reliability-redundancy allocation itself has not been investigated further. In this paper,

Nonparametric predictive inference for system reliability using the survival signature [PDF]
The survival signature has recently been presented as an attractive concept to aid quantification of system reliability. It has similar characteristics as the system signature, which is well established, but contrary to the latter it is easily applicable to systems with multiple types of components.

The Law Commission presumption concerning the dependability of computer evidence [PDF]
We consider the condition set out in section 69(1)(b) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE 1984) that reliance on computer evidence should be subject to proof of its correctness, and compare it to the 1997 Law Commission recommendation that

Joint signature of two or more systems with applications to multistate systems made up of two-state components [PDF]
The structure signature of a system made up of $n$ components having continuous and i.i.d. lifetimes was defined in the eighties by Samaniego as the $n$-tuple whose $k$-th coordinate is the probability that the $k$-th component failure causes the system ...
