Reliability of Software System: A Particle Swarm Approach
Abstract: AbstractSoftware reliability engineering is focused on engineering techniques for developing and maintaining software systems whose reliability can be quantitatively evaluated. In order to estimate and predict the reliability of software system, failure data needs to be properly measured by various means during software development operational phases. Moreover, software reliability models are required to track underlying software failure processes for accurate reliability analysis and forecasting. Generally, software reliability is indicated by …

Bayesian Image Segmentation using HMRF Algorithm
Abstract: AbstractImage segmentation is a process of dividing the image in to some distinct regions. These regions shave specially coherent in nature and have similar attributes. This technique is widely used for image analyses and to interpret the desired feature. In this present paper, we will study about the hidden Markov random fields (HMRF) and find its expectation maximization algorithm. The main idea behind developing HMRF is to adjoin the “data …

Predicting Software Reliability using Artificial Neural Networks: A Review
Abstract: AbstractSoftware reliability has become a major concern for all the software systems. Predicting software reliability has become a major challenge for both the software developers and the engineers. Before the software is dispensed to the market/customers, it is thoroughly checked for any errors and if errors are there, they are thereby removed. For the purpose of reliability estimation certain mathematical software reliability models have been proposed for estimating the reliability …
