Abstract
Plenty of optimization meta-heuristics have been designed for various purposes in optimization. They have also been extensively implemented in reliability engineering. For example, Genetic Algorithm (Coit and Smith, 1996), Ant Colony Optimization (Liang and Smith, 2004), Tabu Search (Kulturel-Konak, et al., 2003), Variable Neighbourhood Descent (Liang and Wu, 2005), Great Deluge Algorithm (Ravi, 2004), Immune Algorithm (Chen and You, 2005) and their combinations (hybrid optimization techniques) exhibited effectiveness in solving various reliability optimization problems.
