Presentation Title:

Overview and 
     Purpose:

This presentation provides an overview of system reliability modeling and analysis methods and tools (commercially available software) with emphasis on large complex systems. Engineering practice and author's experiences (using the existing tools) to model and analyze reliabilities of large, complex systems are addressed. Several real-world systems are then presented to challenge current methods and tools in practical aspects. A performance-based system reliability approach will be proposed, illustrated and discussed.
