Notation
N2  - This book provides a modern view of discrete state space and continuous time semi-Markov processes and their applications in reliability and maintenance. It explains how to construct semi-Markov models and discusses the different reliability parameters and characteristics that can be obtained from those models. Topics include: properties and theorems from discrete state Semi-Markov Process (SMP) theory; method behind constructing Semi-Markov (SM) models and SM decision models in the field of reliability and maintenance; numerous individual versions of SM models, including the most recent and their impact on system reliability and maintenance
