Abstract : It is a well known engineering principle that 'redundancy at the component level is more effective than redundancy at the system level.' Here, redundancy simply means components are connected in parallel and the principle results from comparing the systems obtained when this parallel protocol is applied both at the component and system levels. It is shown in this paper that if parallel or series protocols are ruled out, corresponding versions of the above principle are not possible. This question is examined both in structural as well as in reliability (stochastic) terms. (Author)
