Abstract: Abstract Availability is a very important measure of system performance. A great deal of research works on it have been done. This article reviews the recent major results in this field. Systems whose failures are either self-announcing or not self-announcing are considered in these works, various repair methods and different inspection policies are explored as well. Some of these studies derive the expressions of the steady-state availability, limiting average availability, and others give the expressions of the instantaneous availability explicitly or recursively.
