The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) [a] is an American 501(c)(3) professional association for electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and other related disciplines. The IEEE has a corporate office in New York City and an operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey.
The IEEE Life Sciences Initiative also participates in or is a sponsor of other life sciences conferences and events, including BIO, Bio-IT World, [16] the International Conference on System Biology, [17] and IEEE Smart Tech Metro Area Workshops. [18]
Failure rate is the frequency with which any system or component fails, expressed in failures per unit of time. It thus depends on the system conditions, time interval, and total number of systems under study. [1]
In reliability problems, the expected lifetime is called the mean time to failure, and the expected future lifetime is called the mean residual lifetime. As the probability of an individual surviving until age t or later is S ( t ), by definition, the expected number of survivors at age t out of an initial population of n newborns is n × S ( t ...
Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes the ability of equipment to function without failure. Reliability is defined as the probability that a product, system, or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period of time, OR will operate in a defined environment without failure. [1]
In systems engineering, dependability is a measure of a system's availability, reliability, maintainability, and in some cases, other characteristics such as durability, safety and security. [1] In real-time computing , dependability is the ability to provide services that can be trusted within a time-period. [ 2 ]
A design failure modes and effects analysis, DFMEA, is a structured qualitative analysis of a system, subsystem, device design to identify potential failure modes and their effects on correct operation.
The publications of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) constitute around 30% of the world literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, [citation needed] publishing well over 100 peer-reviewed journals. [1]
