This volume presents current research and system modeling and
optimization in reliability and its applications by many leading
experts in the field. The book comprised of twenty-three chapters,
organized in four parts: Reliability Modeling, Software Quality
Engineering, Software Reliability Modeling, and Maintenance and
Inspection Policies. The subjects covered include system reliability
modeling, reliability optimization, software reliability, software quality,
maintenance theory, maintenance inspection and policies, engineering
reliability analysis, reliability failure analysis, sampling plans
and schemes, high performance screening scheme, software development
process and improvement, stochastic process modeling, statistical
distributions and analysis, fault-tolerant performance, software
measurements, software cost effectiveness, queuing theory and applications,
system availability, reliability of repairable systems, testing
sampling inspection, software capability maturity model, accelerated
life modeling, statistical control, and HALT testing.
