Reliability roadmap and industry collaboration

Reliability research is conducted by many organizations in government, academia and industry. A research roadmap developed collaboratively by the reliability community and led by the Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute (AVSI) will result in a broad-based, common approach to predicting the reliability of electronics. Research that is proposed in accordance with the roadmap will build on existing results and engage experienced reliability researchers to leverage limited research funds. Future projects will develop the capabilities identified by the roadmap for a reliability prediction methodology that provides accurate, timely and necessary information to support reliable system design. New models and modeling methods will provide the capabilities needed to develop future systems; and will establish a normative basis for future industry and military standards.
