This volume consists of twenty-four papers selected by the editors
from the sixty-one papers presented at the 1st International
Conference on Mathemati cal Methods in Reliability held at the
Politehnica University of Bucharest from 16 to 19 September 1997.
The papers have been divided into three sections: statistical
methods, probabilistic methods, and special techniques and appli
cations. Of course, as with any classification, some papers could
be as well assigned to other sections. Problems in reliability are
encountered in items in everyday usage. Relia bility is an
important feature of household appliances, cars, telephones, power
supplies, and so on, whether viewed from the vantage of the
producer or the consumer. Important decisions are based on the
reliability of the product. Obtaining systems that perform
adequately for a specified period of time in a given environment is
an important goal for both government and industry. Hence study and
use of reliability theory, which can be applied in the research,
development, and production phases of a system to enable the user
to evaluate and improve performance, is a worthwhile venture. If
reliability theory is to be useful, it must be quantitative in
nature, because reliability must be demonstra ble. Subsequently
probability and statistics, among others, play an important part in
its development."
