It has been a critical issue to predict the safety critical software reliability in nuclear engineering area. For many years, many researches have focused on the quantification of software reliability and there have been many models developed to quantify software reliability. Most software reliability models estimate the reliability with the failure data collected during the test assuming that the test environments well represent the operation profile. User's interest is however on the operational reliability rather than on the test reliability. The experiences show that the operational reliability is higher than the test reliability. With the assumption that the difference in reliability results from the change of environment, from testing to operation, testing environment factors comprising the aging factor and the coverage factor are developed in this paper and used to predict the ultimate operational reliability with the failure data in testing phase. It is by incorporating test environments applied beyond the operational profile into testing environment factors. The application results show that the proposed method can estimate the operational reliability accurately.

Purpose: The conventional predicted MFTBF by military standard has a wide discrepancy to that of real-world operation, which leads to overstock and increase operation cost. This paper introduces a analyzing frame using operational reliability and cost data to overcome the discrepancy, and provides reliability improvement process employing the analyzing frame. Methods: This paper suggests Reliability-Cost Matrix (R-C Matrix) and Operational Reliability & Cost Index (ORCI) as a tool for reliability evaluation. Results: KOREIP(KAI's Operational Reliability Evaluation and Improvement Process) is developed employing Reliability-Cost Matrix and Operational Reliability & Cost Index. Conclusion: KOREIP provides a process and its activities based on Reliability-Cost Matrix frame. The process and activities leads reliability improvement of aerospace electronic equipments by means of categorizing and follow-up action based on the concept of frame.

One method to improve S/W quality before releasing after development is to enhance the its reliability, whose direct methodology is to detect and revise the fault through testing. Once the S/W is released because it meets the target reliability, We operational reliability arises. it is obvious the operational reliability different depending on the condition whether it is universal(package) S/W or dedicated S/W. We propose the methodology to calculate operational software reliability of universal and dedicated S/Ws in this paper.

소프트웨어를 개발하여 발행하기 전에 품질을 향상시키는 방법으로서 신뢰도를 향상시켜야 하는데, 이의 직접적인 방법으로서는 테스트에 의해 결함을 검출하고 수정해 가는 것이다. 신뢰도가 목표치에 도달하여 발행했을 때, 운영중의 신뢰도 문제가 발생하게 된다. 개발 발행된 소프트웨어 패키지소프트웨어라 불리는 범용소프트웨어냐, 아니면 특수목적을 가진 전용소프트웨어냐에 따라 운영 소프트웨어의 신뢰도가 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 범용소프트웨어와 전용소프트웨어의 운영중의 신뢰도를 산출하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

The software reliability growth depends on the testing time because the failure rate varies whether it is long or not. On the other hand, it might be difficult to reduce failure rate for most of the cases are not available for debugging during operational phase, hence, there are some literatures to study that the failure rate is uniform throughout the operational time. The failure rate reduces and the reliability grows with time regardless of debugging. As a result, the products reliability varies with the time duration of these products in point of customer view. The reason of this is that it accumulates the products experience, studies the exact operational method, and then finds and takes action against the fault circumstances. I propose the simple model to represent this status in this paper.

The SRGM has been studied under the assumption that S/W reliability can grow as the fault causing failure is removed even during operational phase because the debugging is available. On the other hand, some papers insist on the uniform failure rate during operational phase because the debugging may not be available in case of universal software. The phenomenon, however, has been observed informally many times that the products S/W reliability grows as the time goes by even without any debugging in point of customer view. I propose the simple approaching method to model the S/W reliability phenomenon that the failure rate reduces as time goes on without modifying the existing reliability model in this paper.

유도무기체계는 어떤 장비보다도 신뢰성이 가장 중요시 된다. 그러나 제작비용이 고가여서 생산수량이 적고, 배치 후 운용 데이터 획득까지 장기간이 소요되어 주로 개발단계의 신뢰성 예측자료가 활용된다. 개발단계의 신뢰성 예측은 실제 운용환경을 모두 반영하는데 한계가 있어 실제 운용환경에서의 신뢰성 분석이 필요하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내개발 유도무기에 대한 실제 운용 데이터를 활용하여 수명분포를 추정하고, 최소제곱법과 최우추정법을 적용하여 신뢰도 값을 추정하였다. 또한, 개발단계에서 예측된 신뢰도 값과 실제 운용신뢰도 값을 비교하였다. 본 연구 결과로 볼 때 실제 유도무기의 신뢰도는 예측된 값보다 높게 나타났으며, 이는 최신 설계기술의 적용 및 향상된 부품의 신뢰도 값이 예측 데이터에 반영되지 못한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통해 국내개발 유도무기에 대한 실제 운용 신뢰도를 확인할 수 있었으며, 향후 개발될 유도무기의 신뢰도 분석 연구 활동에 기여 할 것으로 기대된다.

In aerospace industry, MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) and MFTBF (Mean Flight Time Between Failure) are generally used for reliability analysis. So far, especially to Korean military aircraft, MFTBF of avionic equipments is predicted by MIL-HDBK-217 and MIL-HDBK-338, however, the predicted MFTBF by military standard has a wide discrepancy to that of real-world operation, which leads to overstock and increase operation cost. This study analyzes operational data of avionic equipments. Operational MFTBF, which is calculated from operational data, is compared with predicted MFTBF calculated conventionally by military standard. In addition, failure rate trend is investigated to verify reliability growth in operational data, the investigation shows that failure rate curve from operational data has somewhat pattern with decreased failure rate and constant failure rate.

Seasonal forecast is growing in demand, as it provides valuable information for decision making and potential to reduce impact on weather events. This study examines how operational climate prediction systems can be reliable, producing the probability forecast in seasonal scale. A reliability diagram was used, which is a tool for the reliability by comparing probabilities with the corresponding observed frequency. It is proposed for a method grading scales of 1-5 based on the reliability diagram to quantify the reliability. Probabilities are derived from ensemble members using hindcast data. The analysis is focused on skill for 2 m temperature and precipitation from climate prediction systems in KMA, UKMO, and ECMWF, NCEP and JMA. Five categorizations are found depending on variables, seasons and regions. The probability forecast for 2 m temperature can be relied on while that for precipitation is reliable only in few regions. The probabilistic skill in KMA and UKMO is comparable with ECMWF, and the reliabilities tend to increase as the ensemble size and hindcast period increasing.
