in this context, a novel structure has been proposed for simple differential evolutionary (de) algorithm to solve optimal recloser placement. for this, an operator is added to de algorithm to adapt concept of the problem. other contribution of this work is formulating a novel objective function. the proposed objective function has been formulated to improve four reliability indices which consis...

This paper presents some examples of quantum reliability function for the quantum communication system in which classical information is transmitted by quantum states. In addition@the quantum Cut off rate is defined. They will be compared with Gallager’s reliability function for the same system.

This paper presents a probabilistic-approach-based reliability prediction model of semiconductor light emitting devices. Using this model with given initial light-emitting performance and degradation behavior otherwise determined by experiment, the reliability function of the devices is obtained, and the results correlate well with experimental results. (Modeling the initial light-emitting perf...

The distributed system is a paradigm in which the components can communicate by means of the interface connected between them. The interaction between the components takes place in order to achieve a common goal. The reliability metrics is used to evaluate the performance of the components which is connected by the distributed systems. The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (...

The importance in promoting, sustaining industries, manufacturing systems and economy through reliability measurement has become an area of interest. Reliability is one of the most important factors in any successful industries and manufacturing settings. In this paper, we study the reliability of three different repairable redundant network flow systems. First order differential equations meth...

A complex structure has many uncertain factors and how to make a more accurate analysis on the structure reliability by a method is the key in engineering calculation. Rough set theory is utilized to analyze the fuzzy, random and uncertain factors and upper and lower approximation set relation is used to calculate the value taking interval of reliability index to make reliability index analysis...

Software reliability is a key part in software quality. It is the ability of the software to perform its specified function under some specific condition. Reliability can be associated with both hardware and software. The hardware reliability can easily be evaluated since hardware get wear out but in case of software it be very difficult. So neural networks have been used for the last few decad...

This paper demonstrates the use of a neural network as a reliability estimator for calculation of the objective function value during genetic algorithm (GA) search. The GA searches for the lowest cost system design by selecting the appropriate components and levels of redundancy. Using a neural network approximation for system reliability is computationally efficient for optimization problems w...
