Abstract :
The traditional reliability definition is based on probability. Probability can be a basis for action, but a customer´s focus is often on their perceived or actual utility derived from the system. In this paper, we present some of the issues in modeling reliability measures which go beyond probability, and then discuss issues of modeling the system reliability from component reliability
