Software reliability in the software development process is an important issue. Software process improvement helps in finishing with reliable software product. Infinite failure NHPP software reliability models presented in the literature exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates per fault. In this paper, proposes the reliability model with log and power intensity function (log linear, log power and exponential power), which made out efficiency application for software reliability. Algorithm to estimate the parameters used to maximum likelihood estimator and bisection method, model selection based on mean square error (MSE) and coefficient of determination($R^2$), for the sake of efficient model, was employed. Analysis of failure, using real data set for the sake of proposing log and power intensity function, was employed. This analysis of failure data compared with log and power intensity function. In order to insurance for the reliability of data, Laplace trend test was employed. In this study, the log type model is also efficient in terms of reliability because it (the coefficient of determination is 70% or more) in the field of the conventional model can be used as an alternative could be confirmed. From this paper, software developers have to consider the growth model by prior knowledge of the software to identify failure modes which can be able to help.

무선 센서 네트워크는 최근 대두되고 있는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 연구에 힘입어, 광범위하게 설치되어 있는 유무선 네트워크 인프라에 상황인지를 위한 다양한 센서 디바이스를 결합하여 감지된 환경 데이터를 응용서비스와 연동하는 기술이다. 기본적으로 홈/빌딩 시큐리티, 사회기반 안전시설, 기계의 고장 진단, 의료 분야 등의 실세계의 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서 다루고자하는 실종 아동에 대한 문제는 어제 오늘의 이야기가 아니다. 미아 발생률은 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며 장기 미아의 발생 역시 증가하고 있다. 따라서 미아 방지를 위해 새로운 서비스들이 소개되었으나 이용자의 경제적 비용 부담 증가와 같은 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 미아 찾기 시스템은 무선 센서 네트워크 기술 응용 중의 하나로서 미아가 발생 시에 아동이 장기 미아가 되지 않도록 효율적이면서도 빠르게 미아를 찾을 수 있도록 하기 위해서 개발되었다. RFID 리더기가 장착된 고정형 센서 노드와 이동형 센서노드가 RFID 태그를 지닌 아동의 정보를 얻어서 중앙 제어 서버로 데이터를 넘기면 태그 정보와 전송한 센서 노드의 위치, 전송 시간을 바탕으로 아동의 위치를 파악할 수가 있다. 미아 찾기 시스템은 이용자가 태그만을 지니면 되기 때문에 경제적 부담은 줄어 들 수 있다. 또한 상기 시스템으로 미아 찾기만이 아니라 주변 환경 감시등의 여러 응용에도 적용 시킬 수가 있다.

The temporary steel bridges which are constructed for detour and constructional expediency are consisted of H-beams(as superstructure) and H-piles(as substructure). Because these members are fastened by high-tension bolts, there are no expansion joints in these bridges. So, these kinds of bridges have no system which can relieve the excessive thermal stress. In this investigation, monitoring system was set up at temporary steel bridge and stress and temperature changes of H-beam are monitored. From these measured data, it is analyzed that the relationship between ambient and main-girder temperature change, between temperature and stress change. With these analyses, it is resulted that the thermal stress take main part of stress variation in this bridge and the restrain of thermal longitudinal displacement of H-pile. In addition, because the connection part of H-beam to H-beam is weak in the continuous spans, the sub-modelling is well apt to reflect the effect of thermal stress.

The 500 MW Korean standard coal-fired power plant is the largest standardized power plant in Korea and has played a pivotal role in domestic power generation for over 20 years. In addition to the aging degradation due to long term operation, the probability of failure of power generation facilities is increasing due to frequent startup and stop caused by the lower utilization rate due to air pollution problem caused by coal-fired power plants. Among them, steam piping plays an important role in transferring high-temperature & pressure steam produced in a boiler to turbine for power generation. In recent years, failure of steam piping of large coal-fired power plant has frequently occurred. Therefore, in this study, failure analysis of high pressure piping weld was conducted. We identify the damage caused by high stress due to abnormal supporting structure of the piping and suggest improved supporting structure to eliminate high stress through microstructure analysis and piping stress analysis to prevent the occurrence of the similar failure of other power plant in the case of repetitive damage to the main steam piping system of the 500 MW Korean standard coal-fired power plant.

The PBA of ship weapon system should be installed and operated under harsh environmental conditions and so it should be highly reliable to endure the mission profiles during its entire lifetime. In the case of PBA failure during operation, rapid maintenance is highly likely to be difficult due to problems such as supply of parts, which can have a devastating effect on the mission. In order to validate the reliability of PBA, a series of tests are performed with PBA samples, but they require time, testing facilities, samples, expenses and failure analysis if failed. The reliability of PBA is predicted on the basis of specifications such as MIL-HDBK-217F, but this specification does not take into account failure mechanisms for specific design details, environment and usage, interconnects and its characteristics that drive many failures of PBA in the field. Therefore, this study predicts the reliability of PBA using an RPA tool and proposes the RPA methodology as a validation process at the design stage. With RPA, it is now possible to achieve design validation including inherent failure mechanism, identification of weakest link, alternative design options, and test plan development.

There are many software reliability models that are based on the times of occurrences of errors in the debugging of software. Software error detection techniques known in advance, but influencing factors for considering the errors found automatically and learning factors, by prior experience, to find precisely the error factor setting up the testing manager are presented comparing the problem. It is shown that it is possible to do asymptotic likelihood inference for software reliability models based on infinite failure model and non-homogeneous Poisson Processes (NHPP). Statistical process control (SPC) can monitor the forecasting of software failure and thereby contribute significantly to the improvement of software reliability. Control charts are widely used for software process control in the software industry. In this paper, we proposed a control mechanism based on NHPP using mean value function of logarithmic hazard learning effects property.

There are many software reliability models that are based on the times of occurrences of errors in the debugging of software. It is shown that it is possible to do parameter inference for software reliability models based on finite failure model and non-homogeneous Poisson Processes (NHPP). For someone making a decision to market software, the conditional failure rate is an important variables. In this case, finite failure model are used in a wide variety of practical situations. Their use in characterization problems, detection of outlier, linear estimation, study of system reliability, life-testing, survival analysis, data compression and many other fields can be seen from the many study. Statistical process control (SPC) can monitor the forecasting of software failure and thereby contribute significantly to the improvement of software reliability. Control charts are widely used for software process control in the software industry. In this paper, proposed a control mechanism based on NHPP using mean value function of polynomial hazard function.

The Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plant should take into account the availability of the plant from the design stage for long-term and continuous fresh water production. As it occurs, it is necessary to establish a corrective maintenance plan and preventive maintenance plan to maintain availability. In the field of complex engineering structures such as seawater desalination plants, it is difficult to estimate the reliability or availability of the system in a mathematical way. This study develops RAM analysis framework and model, and proposes discrete event simulation model as a application sowtware specialized for seawater desalination plant. Considering the characteristics of the plant maintenance, in case of corrective maintenance, we propose a preventive maintenance policy that not only repairs or replaces a single-broken part, but also simultaneously maintains all accessible parts according to the level of overhaul. A case study was conducted to estimate the availability of the system based on the field data of the seawater desalination plant in Korea and Saudi Arabia. The result was close to the expected availability of the plant.

It is very important to evaluate proper acquisition of military aircraft against future threats in our military defense field. In previous studies, the evaluation has been determined in terms of tasking order or weapon power index. These methods compare the combat-effectiveness index and the number of aircraft. However, this study provides simulation analysis of proper quantity decision based on actual operational senarios of military aircraft using System Dynamics. The method reflects the properties of military aircraft operation concepts and considers the rate of failure of main systems on subsystems, as well as repair and crash rates caused by differentials in peacetime and wartime frame.
