In this article, the reliability properties of consecutive k-within-m-out-of-n:F Systems with exchangeable components are studied. The bounds and approximations for the Survival function ire provided. A Monte Carlo estimator of system signature is obtained and used to approximate survival function. The result.,; are illustrated and numerics are provided for an exchangeable multivariate Pareto distribution. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
