The sophistication of science and technology is growing almost exponentially. Government
and industry are relying more and more on science’s advanced methods to assess reliability
coupled with performance, safety, surety, cost, schedule, etc. Unfortunately, policy, cost,
schedule, and other constraints imposed by the real world inhibit the ability of
researchers to calculate these metrics efficiently and accurately using traditional methods.
Because of such constraints, reliability must undergo an evolutionary change. The first
step in this evolution is to reinterpret the concepts and responsibilities of scientists
responsible for reliability calculations to meet the new century’s needs. The next step is
to mount a multidisciplinary approach to the quantification of reliability and its associated
metrics using both empirical methods and auxiliary data sources, such as expert
knowledge, corporate memory, and mathematical modeling and simulation.
