RELEX: An Excel-based software tool for sampling split-half reliability coefficients

An Integrated Software Reliability Tool

ROBUST is a tool for analyzing and predicting the growth of software reliability based on a number of software reliability growth models. It supports four traditional software reliability growth models, as well as Malaiya’s Logarithmic Coverage Model. Capable of working with either time or failure interval data, ROBUST allows for a wide variety of enhancement techniques to be applied to the mod...

An Excel-based tool for evaluating and visualizing geothermobarometry data

• Many geothermobarometers are based on exchange of chemical components between two phases at equilibrium. Problems: • For rare phases, touching grains may be difficult to find. • Zoning along a mutual grain boundary or exsolution makes unambiguous identification of equilibrium analysis pairs difficult. The Dilemma: A. Rely on very few measurements where petrographic interpretation gives high l...

AN ADAPTIVE IMPORTANCE SAMPLING-BASED ALGORITHM USING THE FIRST-ORDER METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY

Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is a useful tool for computation of probability of failure in reliability analysis. However, the large number of samples, often required for acceptable accuracy, makes it time-consuming. Importance sampling is a method on the basis of MCS which has been proposed to reduce the computational time of MCS. In this paper, a new adaptive importance sampling-based algorith...

Proposing an Efficient Software-Based Method for Enhancing the Reliability of Critical Application Robot

Robots play such remarkable roles in humans’ modern lives that performing many tasks without them isimpossible. Using robotic systems is gradually increasing the tasks allocated to them and they are becomingmore complex and critical. Software reliability is one of the most significant requirements of robots. Forenhancing reliability, systems should be inherently designed to be tolerable of soft...
