โฆ Synopsis
A computer system with intermittent.faults fails with probability p when it is used in hidden.faults. Periodic tests are scheduled at times kT(k = 1, 2 .... ) to detect a hidden.fault. The mean time, the expected number of tests and the expected cost until detection of a fault or system failure are derived, using the theory of Markov renewal proeesses. An optimal testing time T* to minimize the expected cost is discussed. A finite T* is given by a unique solution of an equation.

## Abstract Most maintenance policies assume that failed or used components are replaced with identical units. Actually, such a hypothesis neglects the possible obsolescence of the components. When a new, more reliable and less consuming technology becomes available, a decision has to be made as fo
A management system for main memory has a great deal of influence on the efficiency of an entire system. In particular, it is important to manage a system with multiprogramming that allocates some jobs to main memory and performs their processing at the same time, because the memory space after some
