Multiprocessors are quite suitable for task-based applications for the fact that they can support graceful degradation. However the uncertainty associated with the failure ,needs to be addressed for these systems. This paper proposes the fuzzy reliability model for multiprocessor interconnection systems, which takes into an account of uncertainty process. The effect of processor failure rate an...

System reliability assessment is one of the major acts in the operation and maintenance of every industrial and service sector, which also holds true for maritime transportation system. The complexity of the maritime transportation system is a prime obstacle in the evaluation of the operational reliability of the system; mainly due to the fact that statistical data on the important parameters a...

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...

Some work has been done in the past on the estimation of reliability characteristics of Rayleigh distribution based on complete and censored samples. But, traditionally it is assumed that the available data are performed in exact numbers. However, in real world situations, some collected lifetime data might be imprecise and are represented in the form of fuzzy numbers. Thus, it is necessary to ...

Uncertainty is an intrinsic feature of data containing the underlying information of reliability engineering realities. Randomness and fuzziness are two different type uncertainties although there is certain link between them. Cox’s PH (Proportional Hazards) models and Lawless and Thiagarajah’s CIF (Conditional Intensity Function) models addressed the random uncertainty in a very general format...
