Better Reliability Assessment and Prediction through Data Clustering
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a new approach to software reliability modeling by grouping data into clusters of homogeneous failure intensities. This series of data clusters associated with different time segments can be directly used as a piecewise linear model for reliability assessment and problem identification, which can produce meaningful results early in the testing process. The dual model fits traditional software reliability growth models (SRGMs) to these grouped data to provide long-term reliability assessments and predictions. These models were evaluated in the testing of two large software systems from IBM. Comparing to existing SRGMs fitted to raw data, our models are generally more stable over time and produce more consistent and accurate reliability assessments and predictions.

Reliability and Availability Improvement in Economic Data Grid Environment Based On Clustering Approach
Abstract - One of the important problems in grid environments is data replication in grid sites. Reliability and availability of data replication in some cases is considered low. To separate sites with high reliability and high availability of sites with low availability and low reliability, clustering can be used. In this study, the data grid dynamically evaluate and predict the condition of t...
متن کاملEvaluating Different Approaches to Permeability Prediction in a Carbonate Reservoir
Permeability can be directly measured using cores taken from the reservoir in the laboratory. Due to high cost associated with coring, cores are available in a limited number of wells in a field. Many empirical models, statistical methods, and intelligent techniques were suggested to predict permeability in un-cored wells from easy-to-obtain and frequent data such as wireline logs. The main obj...

متن کاملIdentifying Flow Units Using an Artificial Neural Network Approach Optimized by the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm
The spatial distribution of petrophysical properties within the reservoirs is one of the most important factors in reservoir characterization. Flow units are the continuous body over a specific reservoir volume within which the geological and petrophysical properties are the same. Accordingly, an accurate prediction of flow units is a major task to achieve a reliable petrophysical description o...
متن کاملUnsupervised Stability-Based Ensembles to Discover Reliable Structures in Complex Bio-molecular Data
The assessment of the reliability of clusters discovered in bio-molecular data is a central issue in several bioinformatics problems. Several methods based on the concept of stability have been proposed to estimate the reliability of each individual cluster as well as the ”optimal” number of clusters. In this conceptual framework a clustering ensemble is obtained through bootstrapping technique...
