Beschreibungen
<P>Many real systems are composed of multi-state components with different performance levels and several failure modes. These affect the whole system's performance.</P>
<P>Most books on reliability theory cover binary models that allow a system only to function perfectly or fail completely.</P>
<P>"The Universal Generating Function in Reliability Analysis and Optimization" is the first book that gives a comprehensive description of the universal generating function technique and its applications in binary and multi-state system reliability analysis.</P>
<P>Features:<BR>- an introduction to basic tools of multi-state system reliability and optimization;<BR>- applications of the universal generating function in widely used multi-state systems;<BR>- examples of the adaptation of the universal generating function to different systems in mechanical, industrial and software engineering.</P>
<P>This monograph will be of value to anyone interested in system reliability, performance analysis and optimization in industrial, electrical and nuclear engineering.</P>

<P>Dr. Gregory Levitin is an 'engineer-expert' in the Reliability and Equipment Department of the R and D Division of the Israel Electric Corporation and an adjunct senior lecturer at Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology. He has held these posts since 1993.</P>
<P>Dr. Levitin has published 79 papers in refereed journals, one book, <EM>Multistate System Reliability: Assessment, Optimization and Applications</EM> (Lisnianksi and Levitin, World Scientific, 2003). He was an invited contributor to the <EM>Handbook of Reliability Engineering </EM>(Springer London, 2003) and is considered to be an authoritative and experienced researcher in reliability and optimization.</P>
<P>In addition to being a senior member of the IEEE, Dr. Levitin is also a member on the editorial board of the journal <EM>Reliability Engineering and System Safety</EM>. In 2000, Dr. Levitin was awarded a prize in the London Electricity Innovation Challenge. He has also been the organizer of special sessions on multi-state reliability at the Mathematic Methods in Reliability conferences in 2002 and 2004.</P>
