Abstract :
A theoretical approach and applied techniques for designing analogous electronic devices and systems with due account of random variations in system parameters and reliability specifications are considered. The paper discusses the problem of choosing parameter nominals of electronic devices and systems for which the system survival probability or the performance assurance probability for the predetermined time period is maximized. Several algorithms for region of acceptability location, modeling and discrete optimization using parallel and distributed processing are discussed. For seeking a numerical solution of the parametric design problem a distributed computer-aided reliability-oriented design system is proposed.
