Fault tolerance by redundancy is a key technique for improving web services reliability. But, the reliability and fault tolerance are not well supported by Service-oriented architecture (SOA) conceptual model.Most of the existing analytical models to predict the reliability of web services assume their structures are static which do not conform to reality and the estimated reliability precision...

Abstract-This paper presents the reliability computation and Bayesian estimation of system reliability when the applied stress and strength follows the power function distribution. The Power Function Distribution is considered as a simple model to assess component reliability and may exhibit a better fit for failure data and also provide more appropriate information about hazard rate. The resul...

Software Reliability is the probability of failurefree software operation for a specified period of time in a specified environment. Software Reliability is also an important factor affecting system reliability. Software Reliability without excessive limitations. Various approaches can be used to improve the reliability of componentbased software system, however, it is hard to balance developme...

The important property of vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is high dynamic mobility. This characteristic leads the unstable connection of its links among vehicle node. In this scenario achieving high reliability message delivery service is a big challenge in VANET. There are many routing protocols existing to solve about the challenge but they are not up to the mark for achieving reliability. H...

This paper proposes an optimization method for planning adequate number and location of automatic switches in a radial distribution system. The purpose is to maximize the profit of that service reliability indices achieve the required level. First, a network equivalent technique is introduced to calculate the reliability indices. Second, by using the equivalent method, system reliability indice...
