System and Bayesian Reliability
This volume is a collection of articles on reliability systems and Bayesian reliability analysis. Written by reputable researchers, the articles are self-contained and are linked with literature reviews and new research ideas. The book is dedicated to Emeritus Professor Richard E Barlow, who is well known for his pioneering research on reliability theory and Bayesian reliability analysis. Contents: System Reliability Analysis: On Regular Reliability Models (J-C Chang et al.); Bounding System Reliability (J N Hagstrom & S M Ross); Large Excesses for Finite-State Markov Chains (D Blackwell); Ageing Properties: Nonmonotonic Failure Rates and Mean Residual Life Functions (R C Gupta); The Failure...
Influence Diagrams, Belief Nets and Decision Analysis
Based on the proceedings of a conference on Influence Diagrams for Decision Analysis, Inference and Prediction held at the University of California at Berkeley in May of 1988, this is the first book devoted to the subject. The editors have brought together recent results from researchers actively investigating influence diagrams and also from practitioners who have used influence diagrams in developing models for problem-solving in a wide range of fields.

IFUSP
O livro IFUSP: Passado, Presente e Futuro é mais do que um volume dedicado à história do Instituto e sua evolução. Trata também do presente do Instituto e faz algumas projeções para o futuro. Este volume vem também a propósito da comemoração do Ano mundial da Física. Os dois eventos - a criação da USP e a Lembrança dos trabalhos pioneiros de Einstein - constituem-se num momento extemamente propício para a divulgação da Física e para uma reflexâo sobre esta área no Brasil e no mundo. A evolução do instituto é abordada através de textos elaborados por lideramças do Instituto e de depoimentos de personalidades que contribuíram, de forma marcante, para o desenvolvimento do Instituto como uma Instituição pioneira no Brasil.
Mathematical Theory of Reliability
This monograph presents a survey of mathematical models useful in solving reliability problems. It includes a detailed discussion of life distributions corresponding to wearout and their use in determining maintenance policies, and covers important topics such as the theory of increasing (decreasing) failure rate distributions, optimum maintenance policies, and the theory of coherent systems. The emphasis throughout the book is on making minimal assumptions - and only those based on plausible physical considerations - so that the resulting mathematical deductions may be safely made about a large variety of commonly occurring reliability situations. The first part of the book is concerned with component reliability, while the second part covers system reliability, including problems that are as important today as they were in the 1960s. The enduring relevance of the subject of reliability and the continuing demand for a graduate-level book on this topic are the driving forces behind its re-publication.
