Reliability theory bases on the concept of boolean components, i.e. of up, operating or down, failed components. But often such assumption is not adequate for modeling specific behaviors of components, units, subsystems and systems. It cannot catch, for example, different operating conditions of components due to dependencies on other components or environment variations. Aim of this paper is to investigating a specific dynamic behavior, the standby phenomena in reliability contexts, starting from a characterization from both internal and external perspectives. The formal specification of the problem is obtained through the dynamic reliability theory, providing its analytical formulation.
