Abstract
In a previous paper a branching Poisson process model was derived to explain deviations from a Poisson process in computer failure patterns. Physically the deviations arise because an attempt to repair a computer is not always successful and the failure recurs a relatively short time later. In this paper we discuss the implications of this model for the use and maintenance of computers.Keywords
