The ARIES reliability model proposed by Ng and Avizienis [19] models a class of repairable and nonrepairable fault-tolerant systems by a Continuous Time Markov Chain. ARIES uses the Lagrange-Sylvester interpolation Formula to directly compute the exponential of the State Transition Rate Matrix (STRM) which appears in the solution of the Markov Chain. Following have been the main objections to this solution technique [9], [16]. First, that the method is prohibitively expensive in terms of computation; the computational complexity is O(n5) for a state transition rate matrix of size n. Second, that it is not clear that the solution technique is general enough as to handle all repairable fault-tolerant systems which ARIES models.
