## Abstract We consider the problem of calculating the best possible bounds on the reliability of a system given limited information about the joint density function of its components. We show that a polynomial algorithm for this problem exists iff such an algorithm exists for a certain related pro
The service unavailability has widely been used as a measure of the reliability of communications networks. However, the previously used service unavailability is a measure of either a specific or an arbitrary user, so it cannot take account of the scale of the users affected by the failure. In this
