TITLE:
Dynamic Modelling and Analysis of Failures In Repairable Systems and Software
ABSTRACT:
The reliability and performance of systems or processes depends on the ability to limit or avoid events having undesirable consequences. For example, equipment or software failures may stop production or service processes, leading to losses in productivity and income. Some problems and statistical methods associated with such processes will be discussed, with an emphasis on the use of time-varying factors that can be related to event occurrence. Inference procedures and applications to process management and software debugging will be considered.
