We now consider the reliability of systems given the reliability of their components.
We first assume that components are not repairable, but that the system may be able to
function despite some component failures because of redundancy. Then we apply Markov
models to the analysis of repairable systems and a variety of other applications including
queues. In some cases theoretical results can be obtained, but computer simulation is
typically used for more complex models.
