A research effort is summarized which addresses some of the current problems in interfacing systems theory and reliability. Reliability is roughly the probability that a system will perform according to specifications for a given amount of time. The reliability of a system depends on the structure of its components. Systems theory and control theory deal with the response characteristics of a system, which depend on the system dynamics. The concepts necessary to unify the structural and the dynamic properties of a system are defined. The result is a definition of what constitutes a reliable system, from the viewpoint of systems theory, and a methodology which can be used to determine if a given design allows a reliable control system design. |
