Robert A. A Probabilistic Approach to Estimating Computer System Reliability
Paper, 16pp
Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) is a method of estimating system reliability by
combining logic models of the ways systems can fail with numerical failure rates. One postulates a
failure state and systematically decomposes this state into a combination of more basic events
through a process known as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). Failure rates are derived from vendor
specifications, historical trends, on-call reports, and many other sources. FTA has been used for
decades in the defense, aerospace, and nuclear power industries to manage risk and increase
reliability of complex engineering systems. Combining FTA with event tree analysis (ETA), one
can associate failure probabilities with consequences to clearly communicate risk both pictorially
and numerically. Basic PRA techniques can help increase the reliability and security of computer
systems.

Article 12 pp,Polish Naval University The semi-Markov reliability model of the cold standby system with renewal is presented in the paper. The model is some modification of the model that was considered by Barlow & Proshan (1965), Brodi & Pogosian (1978). To describe the reliability evolution of the system, we construct a semi-Markov process by defining the states and the renewal kernel of that one. In our model the time to failure of the...

Paper, 18pp, Annals of Operations Research 134, 101–118, 2005 Consider a network of u[sub][/sub]nreliable links, modelling for example a communication network. Estimating the reliability of the network – expressed as the probability that certain nodes in the network are connected – is a computationally difficult task. In this paper we study how the Cross-Entropy method can be used to obtain more efficient network reliability estimation procedures...

Paper - 11 pp Highly reliable and available systems in all-optical networks require the implementation of various types of redundancy. For reliability and availability analysis systems can be described by reliability block diagrams or diagrams describing system state transitions. Analytical calculations for characteristic reliability and availability parameters such as mean time to failure or average availability for complex, repairable systems c...

Paper - 16 pp System reliability is considered as an important performance index. Performance of engineering systems can be assessed by various techniques. The traditional analytical approach consists of developing a mathematical model that represents the system and to evaluate its reliability indices. There have been attempts in the literature to derive more realistic approaches for the reliability analysis of systems, for example, based on simu...

Article Software reliability models are very useful to estimate the probability of the software fail along the time. Several different models have been proposed to predict the software reliability growth (SRGM); however, none of them has proven to perform well considering different project characteristics.
