Software and System Reliability Considerations for the 21st Ce
نویسنده
چکیده
The infamous bug has come and passed. This bug came about because programmers’ thought horizon did not reach into the new millenium. When the clock rolled over into the 21 century, software that thought the date was 1900 could disastrously fail. Fortunately, its impact was less than forecasted. Problem prevention has cost about 100B, which is significantly less than many forecasters predicted. Hopefully programmers, or information technology (IT) people, have learned from this traumatic experience. Y2K has sensitized the general public to the greater potential impact of software failures.

Determining the optimal size of a ground source heat pump within an air-conditioning system with economic and emission considerations
One of the most challenging issues in modern-day building energy management involves equipping the buildings with more energy efficient facilities. In this paper, a hybrid system for cooling/heating for a residential building is developed and optimized. The system consists of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) as well as an electric chiller (EC) and boiler. The model is implemented in MATLAB ...
متن کاملCondition Based Maintenance for Two-Component Systems with Reliability and Cost Considerations
This paper studies a maintenance policy for a system composed of two components, which are subject to continuous deterioration and consequently stochastic failure. The failure of each component results in the failure of the system. The components are inspected periodically and their deterioration degrees are monitored. The components can be maintained using different maintenance actions (repair...
متن کاملA Microprocessor-Based Hybrid Duplex Fault-Tolerant System
Reliability is one of the fundamental considerations in the design of industrial control equipment. The microprocessor-based Hybrid Duplex fault-tolerant System (HDS) proposed in this paper has high reliability to meet this demand although its hardware structure is simple. The hardware configuration of HDS and the fault tolerance of this system are described. The switching control strategies in...
