Reliability and Resilience in the Internet of Things explains the latest advances in reliability and resilience modeling, analysis, and design techniques for Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Over the last decade, IoT has developed rapidly, and it now spans diverse application domains such as healthcare, home automation, smart manufacturing, smart ocean, and smart agriculture. Due to the critical nature of these applications, it is imperative that the IoT systems operate reliably throughout the intended mission time. This timely book provides state-of the-art coverage on IoT reliability and resilience modeling, analysis, and design methods and solutions to help prevent costly malfunctions. From the viewpoint of engineers, researchers, and developers, reliability analysis and resilience design are key to the deployment and operation of IoT systems in critical applications, and this book contains the best advice on the subject available. It is a valuable resource for researchers in academia and industry interested in smart IoT systems and Industry 4.0.

Offers timely and comprehensive coverage of dynamic system reliability theoryThis book focuses on hot issues of dynamic system reliability, systematically introducing the reliability modeling and analysis methods for systems with imperfect fault coverage, systems with function dependence, systems subject to deterministic or probabilistic common-cause failures, systems subject to deterministic or probabilistic competing failures, and dynamic standby sparing systems. It presents recent developments of such extensions involving reliability modelling theory, reliability evaluation methods, and features numerous case studies based on real-world examples. The presented dynamic reliability theory can enable a more accurate representation of actual complex system behavior, thus more effectively guiding the reliable design of real-world critical systems.Dynamic System Reliability: Modelling and Analysis of Dynamic and Dependent Behaviors begins by describing the evolution from the traditional static reliability theory to the dynamic system reliability theory, and provides a detailed investigation of dynamic and dependent behaviors in subsequent chapters. Although written for those with a background in basic probability theory and stochastic processes, the book includes a chapter reviewing the fundamentals that readers need to know in order to understand contents of other chapters which cover advanced topics in reliability theory and case studies.* The first book systematically focusing on dynamic system reliability modelling and analysis theory* Provides a comprehensive treatment on imperfect fault coverage (single-level/multi-level or modular), function dependence, common cause failures (deterministic and probabilistic), competing failures (deterministic and probabilistic), and dynamic standby sparing* Includes abundant illustrative examples and case studies based on real-world systems* Covers recent advances in combinatorial models and algorithms for dynamic system reliability analysis* Offers a rich set of references, providing helpful resources for readers to pursue further research and study of the topicsDynamic System Reliability: Modelling and Analysis of Dynamic and Dependent Behaviors is an excellent book for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and researchers in reliability and related disciplines.

Recent advances in science and technology have made modern computing and engineering systems more powerful and sophisticated than ever. The increasing complexity and scale imply that system reliability problems not only continue to be a challenge but also require more efficient models and solutions.
