Abstract
Today computers cannot achieve their intended reliability in operating systems, application programs, control programs, or commercial systems, such as nuclear power plant control, space shuttle reliability, etc., without employing redundancy. In this paper, we describe a specific model for the emergency telecommunications system. We derive an expression to determine the reliability and the mean time to failure of the emergency telecommunications system with its mechanical switches and their two types of failure modes
