telecommunications system reliability Engineering Theory and practice
2012Co-Authors: Mark L. AyersAbstract:Evolving network topologies and complex operational models require a new, more sophisticated approach to reliability and availability prediction in telecommunications systems. Bringing the field of telecommunications system reliability analysis up to date, this textbook provides telecommunications engineers, managers, and students with practical knowledge for analyzing, predicting and reporting reliability and availability metrics. Fundamental Theory forms the basis for in-depth studies of fiber optic, microwave, satellite, and mobile wireless networks as well as facility design, power systems (including battery backup) and software/firmware. Analysis techniques presented include reliability block diagrams, Markov chains and Monte Carlo simulation. Problem sets are included at the end of each chapter to help solidify the readers understanding of the material presented.

A Preliminary Software Engineering Theory as Investigated by Published Experiments
Empirical Software Engineering, 2001Co-Authors: Andreas ZendlerAbstract:The investigation of software Engineering techniques by using the experiment sets up the discipline of experimental software Engineering. The effectiveness and efficiency of software Engineering techniques have been studied in experiments and confronted with empirical data. The results of these experiments are published in a diversity of journals and proceeding papers. However, there is not an overview so far which represents the available results systematically. By taking the results from published experiments that deal with analysis, design, implementation, test, maintenance, quality assurance, and reuse techniques a preliminary software Engineering Theory is developed. From this Theory, fruitful problems, suggestions for gathering new data, and entirely new lines of investigation are deduced.

Up or Out?—Economic-Engineering Theory of Flood Levee Height and Setback
Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management, 2009Co-Authors: Tingju Zhu, Jay R. LundAbstract:Levee setback location and height are important issues in flood levee system design and modification. This paper derives an economic-Engineering Theory of the optimal trade-off of levee setback for height both for original and redesigned flood levees, demon- strating the interconnection of levee setback, height, costs and risks, and economically optimal design. These analyses assume stationary flood hydrology and static ratios among damageable property value, unit construction cost, and land price. The economic trade-off of levee setback for height depends on economic cost and benefit and hydraulic parameters, and only indirectly on flood frequency and economic damage parameters. The redesign rules derived in this paper indicate conditions where existing levees should be raised or moved in response to changes in conditions. Numerical examples illustrate the results. This paper demonstrates several ideas and Theory for economic flood levee system planning and policy rather than providing guidelines for direct design practice.

Economic-Engineering Theory of Flood Levee Height and Setback
World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006, 2006Co-Authors: Tingju Zhu, Jay R. LundAbstract:Levee setback (location) and height are important issues in flood levee system design or modification. This paper derives an economic-Engineering Theory of the optimal trade-off of levee setback for height for both original and re-designed flood levees, demonstrating the interconnection of levee setback, height, costs and risks, and economically optimal decisions. All the analyses assume that hydrologic and economic conditions are “static”. Expected total flood control costs are shown to be convex for conditions of wide channels where flood flows have a lognormal frequency distribution. The re-design rules derived in this paper hold for much wider conditions. Numerical examples illustrate the results. This paper demonstrates several ideas and Theory for economic flood levee system planning and policy rather than providing guidelines for direct design practice.
