Abstract: Abstract Due to imperfect fault coverage, the reliability of redundant systems cannot be enhanced unlimitedly with the increase of redundancy. Many works have been done on the reliability modeling and optimization of systems subjected to imperfect fault coverage. The methodologies adopted mainly include combinatorial approach, ordered binary decision diagram and universal generating function. Depending on the type of fault tolerant techniques used, there are mainly three kinds of fault coverage models: (1) element level coverage (ELC). (2) fault level coverage (FLC). and (3) performance-dependent coverage (PDC). This chapter reviews the literatures on the reliability of systems subjected to imperfect fault coverage and shows an extended work.
