ConclusionReferences"As our modern information-age society grows in complexity both in terms of embedded systems and applications, the problems and challenges in reliability become ever more complex. Bringing together many of the leading experts in the field, this volume presents a broad picture of current research on system modeling and optimization in reliability and its applications. The book comprises twenty-three chapters organized into four parts: Reliability Modeling, Software Quality Engineering, Software Reliability, and Maintenance and Inspection Policies. These sections cover a wide range of important topics, including system reliability modeling, optimization, software reliability and quality, maintenance theory and inspection, reliability failure analysis, sampling plans and schemes, software development processes and improvement, stochastic process modeling, statistical distributions and analysis, fault-tolerant performance, software measurements and cost effectiveness, queueing theory and applications, system availability, reliability of repairable systems, testing sampling inspection, software capability maturity model, accelerated life modeling, statistical control, and HALT testing."Computer softwareReliabilityReliability (Engineering)Reliability (Engineering)Mathematical modelsComputer softwareReliability.Reliability (Engineering)Reliability (Engineering)Mathematical models.620/.00452Pham Hoang28208MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911006600003321Reliability modeling, analysis and optimization4392248UNINA
