Reliability has become a greater concern in recent years, because high-tech industrial
processes with ever increasing levels of sophistication comprise most engineering systems …

Redundancy allocation problem (RAP) has attracted many researchers in recent years as it
is very important aspect in the field of reliability and system engineering. It plays an …

Reliability allocation to increase the total reliability has become a successful way to increase
the efficiency of the complex industrial system designs. A lot of research in the past have …

In the broadest sense, reliability is a measure of performance of systems. As systems have
grown more complex, the consequences of their unreliable behavior have become severe in …

Abstract Multiple Objective Optimisation is a fast growing area of research, and
consequently several Ant Colony Optimisation approaches have been proposed for a variety …

In this paper we present a review of approximative solution methods, that is, heuristics and
metaheuristics designed for the solution of multiobjective combinatorial optimization …

For the past two decades, nature‐inspired optimization algorithms have gained enormous
popularity among the researchers. On the other hand, complex system reliability …

This paper illustrates the use of multi-objective optimization to solve three types of reliability
optimization problems: to find the optimal number of redundant components, find the …

This paper presents a meta-heuristic algorithm, variable neighborhood search (VNS), to the
redundancy allocation problem (RAP). The RAP, an NP-hard problem, has attracted the …

This paper presents a novel hybrid genetic algorithm (GA)-particle swarm optimization
(PSO) approach for reliability redundancy allocation problem (RRAP) in series, series …
