Aimed at the reparable characteristic of the mechanical product, a method of the reliability model recognition of mean time between failures based on the BP neural network was developed, and a method of parameter estimation of reliability model based on adaptive linear network was proposed by means of theory of artificial neural network with MATLAB and reliability engineering theory. By network...

In this paper, a heuristic is proposed to find out the reliability of a directed network by using directed acyclic graph. This directed network has imperfect nodes as well as imperfect links. Directed acyclic graph based reliability computation involves three main steps: In the first step, built the reliability function of the given directed network which is the union of all min-paths from sour...

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Highly Available Network File Server (HA-NFS). We separate the problem of network le server reliability into three diierent subprob-lems: server reliability, disk reliability, and network reliability. HA-NFS ooers a diierent solution for each: dual-ported disks and impersonation are used to provide server reliability, disk mirroring can be ...
