Abstract
Upper and lower bounds for the probability of failure are derived for reliability models that are appropriate for a class of highly reliable systems. These systems use redundant and reconfigurable architectures where the individual components fail independently at a low constant rate and where faulty components are quickly removed from the system. The bounds are given in terms of the first several moments of the reconfiguration process. The bounds are easy to compute, and they use parameters which can be directly observed in a fault-injection experiment or derived from an analytical fault model.
