Title
Measuring Reliability as a Mean Failure Cost
Abstract
tributes [2] (most notably security). In this fast abstract we submit a tentative challenge to this measure, propose an alternative, and briefly illustrate it with a simple example. When we say that a system has an MTTF , we mean that the mean time to the failure of the system with respect to some implicit specification is . In doing so, we are usually making three implicit assumptions: Independence of failure cost with respect to subspec-
