Recenzje

'… Reliability and Availability Engineering is an excellent book that puts all the aspects of the dependability engineering, particularly, theoretical models, analysis methods, and practical applications, in one place. It is bound to become an indispensable guide and reference for a broad range of students, researchers, and practicing engineers interested in scientific studies and the practice of dependability engineering.' Xiwei Qiu and Yuanshun Dai, International Journal of Performability Engineering
