P. survey of over 100 cited referer.ces 3ertinent to the application of flow graphs t o reliability engineering leads to the conclusion that a large number of r e l i a b i l i t y problems can be reduced t o a few basic patterns.Flow graphs clearly reveal these patterns, thereby providing a systematic approach to solve a wide range of problems by r e v e r t i n g t o e x i s t i n g p a t t e r n s , i f p o s s i b l e , o r by adapting or combining know. solutions.
