Aging Solutions of Certain Renewal Type Equations
We study some distribution properties of the solution of the renewal equation, where V and W are non-negative probability distributions, 0 < p < 1,...

Sharp Bonferroni-Type Inequalities in Explicit Forms
Let p m ( or gm) be the probability that exactly (or at least) m out of n events, A 1,…,A n, occur. Let The...

Transferability of Knowledge Based Systems
This presentation illucidates the impact information technology factors may have on transferability of knowledge based systems. The paper describes...

A limit theorem of certain repairable systems
Many large engineering systems can be viewed (or imbedded) as a series system in time. In this paper, we introduce the structure of a repairable...

An Advanced EDP-Audit Package in an Integrated Hospital Information System, What are the Requirements ?
From an administrative point of view the now existing large scale Hospital Information Systems are complex and difficult to examine. It becomes even...

Status of the Niagara River Point Source Discharge Information: Sampling Design and Estimation of Loading
Two basic requirements, low bias and high precision, are necessary for generating reliable estimates for the load from point and nonpoint sources of...

Application of Markovian Decision Theory to the Problem of Highway Maintenance
In this paper a maintenance problem of a road-type construction, which we call “road”, is discussed. A road is assumed to be inspected periodically,...

Application of Queueing-Theoretic Methods in Operations Research
One of the most important areas to come under the jurisdiction of cybernetics is that which is commonly termed “operations research.” By the word...
