Component-based software development is the current methodology facilitating agility in project management, software reuse in design and implementation, promoting quality and productivity, and increasing the reliability and performability. This paper illustrates the usage of intuitionistic fuzzy degree approach in modelling the quality of entities in imprecise software reliability computing in ...

This paper shows the application of reliability methods in the content of robust design optimization. Several reliability methods are presented and discussed. The consequences of the proper treatment of stochastic uncertainties are demonstrated with the aid of a simple structural example. As a result it is seen that the suggested reliability methods help to define safety factors to compensate f...

Reliability evaluation of active distribution networks (ADNs) considering customer satisfaction is studied in this paper. Operation optimization model of ADNs is established, which aims to maximize the operation benefit of ADNs using demand response. However, according to optimization decisions, customers may have to change their electricity consumption habit, which affects customer satisfactio...

In this paper, a genetic algorithm is presented for the simultaneous layout and pipe size optimization of water distribution networks and its e ciency is evaluated and compared using di erent selection mechanisms. An engineering concept of reliability is used, in which the number of independent paths from source nodes to each of the demand nodes is considered as a measure of reliability. The me...

Component-based software development approach has become a trend in integrating modern software systems. To ensure the overall reliability of an integrated software system, its software components have to meet certain reliability requirements, subject to some testing schedule and resource constraints. Efficiency improvement of the system-testing can be formulated as a combinatorial optimization...

As the computer technology improves rapidly, the scale of software has increased greatly, which makes it more and more difficult to find a bug in software. As a result, the enhancement of software quality and reliability has become an important task in the field of software engineering. Test is an important step that guarantees software quality and reliability. We put forward a novel multi-obje...
