N2  - In order to establish a feasible and useful reliability evaluation model for a network system of dependent components, the failure of a component is distinguished into many states artificially, according to the causes which bring about such a failure and the effects to the system in such a way that the failure rate of each state can be easily estimated. Such failure state of a component can be grouped into four types, single (stochastical independent), active, passive and common-cause failures.<p />
