Description
Springer Handbook Of Performability Engineering 2008 Edition by Krishna B. Misra
Dependability and cost effectiveness are primarily seen as instruments for conducting international trade in the free market environment. These factors cannot be considered in isolation of each other. This handbook considers all aspects of performability engineering. The book provides a holistic view of the entire life cycle of activities of the product along with the associated cost of environmental preservation at each stage while maximizing the performance.
