This work is a continuation of earlier volumes under the heading "Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, and Theo retical Cybernetics," published as part of the "Itogi Nauki" series. The present volume comprises a single review article, en titled "Reliability of Discrete Systems," covering material pub lished mainly in the last six to eight years and abstracted in "Referativnyi Zhurnal-Matematika" (Soviet Abstract Journal in Mathematics). The bibliography encompasses 313 items. The editors welcome inquiries regarding the present volume or the format and content of future volumes of the series; corre spondence should be sent to the following address: Otdel Matemat ika (Mathematics Section), Baltiiskaya ul., 14, Moscow, A-219. v Contents RELIABILITY OF DISCRETE SYSTEMS M.
