This special volume of Statistical Sciences presents some innovative, if not provocative, ideas in the area of reliability, or perhaps more appropriately named, integrated system assessment.

Abstract Our reasons for this apparently single-minded viewpoint are simple. The technology of reliability assessment was worked out very early in the history of psychological assessment. We once traced its roots back to a textbook written in the 1930s, and the basic definitions were given without reference, indicating that, even seven ...

The semiconductor industry is a fundamental building block of the new economy, there is no area of modern life untouched by the progress of nanoelectronics. The electronic chip is becoming an ever-increasing portion of system solutions, starting initially from less than 5% in the 1970 microcomputer era, to more than 60% of the final cost of a mobile ...

When we call a person reliable, we mean that one can trust her to do what she promised to do. In other words, a reliable person shows behavior one expects. Technical devices typically are classified as reliable or unreliable. As cars grow older, technical malfunctioning becomes more likely, and they gradually become unreliable, meaning they no longer ...

Enhancement of reliability in condition monitoring techniques in wind turbines [PDF]
The majority of electrical failures in wind turbines occur in the semiconductor components (IGBTs) of converters. To increase reliability and decrease the maintenance costs associated with this component, several health-monitoring methods have been ...

Quantum technology has led to increasingly sophisticated and complex quantum devices. Assessing their reliability (quantum reliability) is an important issue. Although reliability theory for classical devices has been well developed in industry and technology, a suitable metric on quantum reliability and its loss has not been systematically ...

The value of reliability [PDF]
We derive the value of reliability in the scheduling of an activity of random duration, such as travel under congested conditions. We show that the minimal expected cost is linear in the mean and standard deviation of duration, regardless of the form of ...

Reliability improvement of electronic circuits based on physical failure mechanisms in components [PDF]
Traditionally the position of reliability analysis in the design and production process of electronic circuits is a position of reliability verification. A completed design is checked on reliability aspects and either rejected or accepted for production.

Reliability prediction in model driven development [PDF]
Evaluating the implications of an architecture design early in the software development lifecycle is important in order to reduce costs of development.

On the reliability of reliability estimates in infancy research
AbstractIn this commentary on ByersâHeinlein, Bergmann, and Savalei's (this issue) call to consider reliability in infancy measures, we note that the combination of highly unreliable measures and typically small sample sizes means that most reliability estimates based on single infant studies are, themselves, highly unreliable.
