Due to the increasing reliance on software, there is a growing concern regarding the reliability of a system before it is commissioned for use, the level of reliability achieved, and the number of vulnerabilities present in the system before its operationalization. Moreover, securing the system against internal and external security threats, considering the existing vulnerabilities, becomes crucial. These issues are of increasing importance as they necessitate the development of tools and techniques capable of analyzing the dependability and security aspects of a system.

These concerns are particularly prominent in safety-critical and mission-critical systems.

System Reliability and Security: Techniques and Methodologies delves into the application of soft computing techniques and analytical methodologies to model and analyze dependable and secure systems. It explores systems and applications with complex distributed or networked architectures across various domains, including:

Nuclear Energy
Ground Transportation Systems
Air Traffic Control
Healthcare and Medicine
Communications

System reliability engineering is a multidisciplinary field that employs computational methods to estimate or predict the reliability aspects of a system and analyze failure data obtained from real-world projects. On the other hand, system security is a related field that ensures that even a reliable system remains secure against accidental or deliberate intrusions and is free from vulnerabilities.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of tools and techniques, cutting-edge research topics, and methodologies in the areas of system reliability and security. It examines prediction models and methods, as well as strategies for securing a system during its development.
