In recent years, frequent natural or man-made disturbances have been accelerating the
study of resilience management. As an important source of system resilience, maintenance …

There exists a tremendous number of research surveys on various aspects of UAV logistics,
mobility and monitoring tasks in the literature. These surveys have been published in distinct …

Abstract Information‐driven mission abort is an effective way to control the failure risk of
safety‐critical systems during mission executions. We investigate the optimal sampling and …

Recent reliability literature has extended the investigation of mission abort policies for single-
attempt missions to multi-attempt missions, where the mission task may be attempted …

Mission abort policies have been investigated for both single-attempt and multi-attempt
missions in the last decade. The existing models typically assumed a single task performed …

Active redundancy is an effective technique for improving the mission success probability.
However, more components simultaneously performing the mission implies higher cost and …

Mission abort may reduce the risk of system losses in many critical applications. Diverse
aborting policies have been designed for single-attempt and multi-attempt missions …

Motivated by the demand of increasing the mission success probability, there is a shift of
attention from single-attempt missions to multi-attempt missions in the mission aborting …

As a typical Internet of Things system, unmanned swarms can execute missions efficiently,
while reduce risks and ensure personnel safety during operations. Because swarms in …

Drones, or UAVs, are developed very intensively. There are many effective applications of
drones for problems of monitoring, searching, detection, communication, delivery, and …
