Abstract :
The consecutive-k-out-of-n:F and related systems have caught the attention of many researchers since the early 1980s. The studies of these systems lead to better understanding of the reliability of general series systems, In computation and structure. This paper is mainly a chronological survey of computing the reliability of these systems
