However, many systems are composed of multi-state components with different performance levels and several failure modes. There is a great need in a series of applications to have a more refined description of these states, for instance, the amount of power generated by an electrical power generation system or the amount of gas that can be delivered through an offshore gas pipeline network.  \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a descriptive account of various types of multistate system, bound-for multistate systems, probabilistic modeling of monitoring and maintenance of multistate systems with components along with examples of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLooks at modern multistate reliability theory with applications covering a refined description of components and system states.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents new research, such as Bayesian assessment of system availabilities and measures of component importance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComplements the methodological description with two substantial case studies. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eReliability engineers and students involved in the field of reliability, applied mathematics and probability theory will benefit from this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eBent Natvig is Professor in Mathematics Statistics, University of Oslo.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMember of Research Education Committee, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, 2000-.
