Human Factors in Network Reliability Engineering

Journal of Network and Systems Management, 2017
Network administration and management tasks play an integral role in Information Technology (IT) operations; which are utilized across a diverse set of organizations. The reliability of networks is therefore of crucial importance for ensuring effective business processes. All IT networks are administered and managed by human administrators.

Safety Factor and Reliability

1991
For composite laminates the concept of safety factor is presented based on reliability analysis and the range of safety factors is given. Safety factor relates to the disperse degree of strength and load and the value of required reliability of structure.

Temperature as a Reliability Factor

1997
Many reliability engineers and system designers consider temperature to be a major factor affecting the reliability of electronic equipment. Unfortunately, in an effort to improve reliability, design teams have often lowered temperature without fully understanding the impact on cooling system reliability, in dollars, weight, and size, and the extent of

Impact factor: Universalism and reliability of assessment

Clinics in Dermatology, 2017
In 1955, Eugene Garfield (1925-1917) published a paper in Science where for the first time he advocated the necessity of introducing parameters to assess the quality of scientific journals. Underlying this necessity was an observation of a trend where the whole area of influence in academic publishing was dominated by a narrow group of large ...

An analysis of factors affecting software reliability

Journal of Systems and Software, 2000
Abstract This paper presents the findings of empirical research from 13 companies participating in software development to identify the factors that may impact software reliability. Thirty-two potential factors involved in every stage of the software development process are defined.

Factors influencing the reliability of oral contraceptives

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1997
Background. The reliability of oral contraceptives (OC) is high but several known factors can potentially induce failures. The dose of estrogen (EE) has been reduced through the years. Interaction with concomitant use of other medicine is wellknown and gastroenteritis can reduce the uptake of EE.

Factorization theory in diameter constrained reliability

2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM), 2016
In classical network reliability, the system under study is a network with perfect nodes and imperfect links that fail randomly and independently. The typical problem in the area is to find the probability that the resulting random graph is connected( or more generally, that a given subset K of nodes belong to the same connected component), called ...

Factors affecting the reliability of the McMaster technique

Journal of Helminthology, 1986
ABSTRACTFactors detraction from the reliability of faecal egg counts based on the McMaster technique include variation in flotation time (interval between loading chamber and counting eggs) and sample dilution (ratio of faecal material to salt solution).

Estimation of reliability in a three‐factor model

Statistics in Medicine, 2011
AbstractReliability measures have been well studied over many years. Such measures have been thoroughly studied for two‐factor models. Motivated by a medical research problem, point and confidence interval estimates of the intraclass correlation coefficient are extended to models containing three crossed random factors—subjects, raters, and occasions ...

Reliability — The forgotten factor

1960 EI National Conference on the Application of Electrical Insulation, 1960
Much time, effort, and money are being spent today to develop new and exotic insulation for rotating electrical equipment. Insulation specialists are able to determine to the most minute detail the chemical, physical, and electrical characteristics of the insulation. But the reliability factor is almost forgotten.
