ResearchReliaSoft's R&D team members presented three papers at the 46th Annual International Symposium on Product Quality and Integrity - the Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS), held in Los Angeles, California, USA, January 24 - 27, 2000. The papers (available in *.pdf format on the Web) included: "Modeling & Analysis for Multiple Stress-Type Accelerated Life Data" in which ReliaSoft's Senior Scientist Adamantios Mettas presents a model for multiple stress-type accelerated life data and illustrates the use of the model. The solution to this model provides engineers with an opportunity to expand their selection of types of stresses and test conditions when testing products. The theory will be incorporated in upcoming releases of ReliaSoft's ALTA software. "Field Data is Reliability Information: Implementing an Automated Data Acquisition and Analysis System" in which ReliaSoft's President Pantelis Vassiliou collaborates with James Jauw (Quality Engineer at Amway Corporation) to describe the design and development of the Amway Product Quality Tracking System, an integrated system that allows the organization to capture, analyze and present product quality data in a graphically rich interface accessible via an organization's intranet or the Internet. "Reliability Allocation and Optimization for Complex Systems" in which Adamantios Mettas describes a general model to estimate the minimum reliability requirement for multiple components within a system that will yield a goal reliability value for the system. This groundbreaking theory has been implemented in ReliaSoft's BlockSim software.
