the redundancy allocation problem can be described as selecting the components and system configuration in order to optimize some objective function(s) without violating the system constraints. operating conditions are not constant in many advanced engineering systems. mostly, in the engineering applications selection, the number of redundancy components must be balanced among the constraints (...

This paper explores what a Rule Consequentialist of Brad Hooker's sort can and should say about normative reasons for action. I claim that they provide theory reasons, but doing so requires distinguishing different roles rules in the ideal code. Some code specify while others perform functions. The also discusses choice Consequentialists face how exactly to reasons. It ends by comparing offered...
