We propose an approach for analyzing software architectures with respect to reliability to improve fault tolerance. The approach defines a failure scenario model that is based on ...
—Architecture-based software reliability analysis methods shall help software architects to identify critical software components and to quantify their influence on the system r...
Structural equation models have been widely used to study causal relationships between continuous variables. Recently, a non-Gaussian method called LiNGAM was proposed to discover ...
—The notion of Architectural Vulnerability Factor (AVF) has been extensively used by designers to evaluate various aspects of design robustness. While AVF is a very accurate way ...
A novel method (the V-shaped curve) is presented to predict the failure probability of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) in IC/substrate assemblies. The Poisson function is used t...
