New Trends in System Reliability Evaluation


Book Description

The subject of system reliability evaluation has never been so extensively and incisively discussed as in the present volume. The book fills a gap in the existing literature on the subject by highlighting the shortcomings of the current state-of-the-art and focusing on on-going efforts aimed at seeking better models, improved solutions and alternative approaches to the problem of system reliability evaluation. The book's foremost objective is to provide an insight into developments that are likely to revolutionize the art and science in the near future. At the same time it will help serve as a benchmark for the reader not only to understand and appreciate the newer developments but to profitably guide him in reorienting his efforts. This book will be valuable for people working in various industries, research organizations, particularly in electrical and electronics, defence, nuclear, chemical, space and communciation systems. It will also be useful for serious-minded students, teachers, and for the laboratories of educational institutions.







Advanced Reliability Modeling


Book Description

The 2004 Asian International Workshop on Advanced Reliability Modeling is a symposium for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research and the presentation of practice in reliability engineering and related issues in Asia. It brings together researchers, scientists and practitioners from Asian countries to discuss the state of research and practice in dealing with reliability issues at the system design (modeling) level, and to jointly formulate an agenda for future research in this engineering area. The proceedings cover all the key topics in reliability, maintainability and safety engineering, providing an in-depth presentation of theory and practice.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: ? Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings? (ISTP? / ISI Proceedings)? Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)? CC Proceedings ?
