Abstract

A simple physically meaningful predictive model is developed for the assessment of the acceptable duration of the repair (restoration) time to keep the system's availability level sufficiently high. The role of the random nature of the restoration time is taken into account. High availability can be achieved by making large, after a malfunction is detected, the ratio of the intensity of restorations to the failure rate. It is shown how this way to go could be effectively quantified. The general concept is illustrated by a numerical example.
