Reliability of Structural Reliability Estimation

In this paper we study the reliability of calculations of the structural reliability. It compares the exact reliability expression within the Bernoulli-Euler column theory with its counterpart obtained via the finite difference expression in the buckling context.

∆-reliability *

This paper presents a new, non-binary measure of the reliability of broadcast algorithms, called ∆Reliability. This measure quantifies the reliability of practical broadcast algorithms that, on the one hand, were devised with some form of reliability in mind, but, on the other hand, are not considered reliable according to the “traditional” notion of broadcast reliability [8]. Our specification...

Increasing the Reliability of Reliability Diagrams

The reliability diagram is a common diagnostic graph used to summarise and evaluate probabilistic forecasts. Its strengths lie in the ease with which it is produced and the transparency of its definition. While visually appealing, major long noted shortcomings lie in the difficulty of interpreting the graph visually; for the most part, ambiguities arise from variation in the distribution of for...

Reliability Testing Strategy - Reliability in Software Engineering

This paper presents the core principles of reliability in software engineering; outlining why reliability testing is critical and specifying the process of measuring reliability. The paper provides insight for both novice and experts in the software engineering field for assessing failure intensity as well as predicting failure of software systems. Measurements are conducted by utilizing inform...
