Cascading failure is one of the key issues affecting the reliability of edge-assisted Internet of
Things (IoTs), but is rarely studied. In this paper, a cascading model is developed with full …

For systems operating in random environments, shock number threshold-based mission
abort policies (MAP) have been modeled and optimized for balancing the mission success …

Many real-world complex systems, such as power grids, the Internet, transportation
networks, and complex information systems networks, which can be modeled abstractly with …

Advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technology has a profound impact on improving the
intelligence level of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and promoting the sustainable …

This paper models a dual-unit standby system with non-identical, reusable units that perform
the mission task alternatively according to a pre-specified replacement and maintenance …

Network resilience, measuring the degree of network performance decline and recovery
capacity after perturbation onset, is highly related to capability against a cascading failure …

Modeling and optimizing mission abort policies have received intensive research attention
in the past decade. While most of the existing models assumed single-attempt missions, few …

As our physical environments become ever-more connected, instrumented, and automated,
it can be increasingly difficult for users to understand what is happening within them and …

Cybersecurity risk modeling and pricing are becoming a spotlight in actuarial science and
operational research. This paper pertains to the analysis of the cybersecurity risks involved …

Many production and safeguard systems consisting of multiple components are susceptible
to the cascading failures, where one possibility is that the failure of a component leads to …
