In this study, energy center selection of G7 countries is examined. In this context, firstly, the studies in the literature have been evaluated in detail, and seven different criteria have been determined which may affect this selection. Taking these seven different criteria into consideration, G7 countries are ranked by fuzzy MOORA method according to energy center selection performance. According to the results, Japan and Germany are the most successful countries. On the other hand, it was concluded that France and Italy ranked last in terms of energy center selection performance. Hence, especially the countries in the last rankings should be more careful in selecting energy center. In this framework, the customer potential, the training profiles of the customers, the potential of the company with investment demand, the previous payment performance of these companies, and the market risks should be considered by the energy companies while opening new branches.

System safety is closely related to system reliability. Safety requirements many times are translated to reliability requirements. Nowadays, software systems exist in many engineering systems. However, there is no consensus method for software reliability estimation. On the contrary, there is an increasing interest in estimating the software reliability due to concerns for safety-critical systems. In this article, we try to close the gap by proposing a systematic and probabilistic method to estimate the software reliability based on software test data.

Component-based software engineering has proved itself as a strong pillar in software engineering community. Large number of factors are involved in the success of software product developed using Component-based software engineering, for instance, security, reliability, quality, safety, and testability. As the component-based software is made up of large number of components put together, therefore components’ reliability influence the reliability of the complete software. Numerous models and principles have been established to estimate the reliability of software by applying information regarding architecture, quality and security attributes of the software. Many researchers overlooked a major factor while estimating reliability of component-based software and that is error-propagation. Although it can be a case that the components are not dependent on each other and they are supplemented with the wrappers. However it is not true for many component-based applications. In this paper, a framework for reliability estimation has been proposed. In our proposal we have considered error propagation. We have analyzed the program structure and also presented how they are handled in estimation process. Further sensitivity analysis is done to identify the most sensitive component of the system. A numerical simulation is also presented for better understanding of the proposed framework.

This paper presents a graphical complexity measure based approach with an illustration for estimating the reliability of software component. This paper also elucidates how the graph-theory concepts are applied in the field of software programming. The control graphs of several actual software components are described and the correlation between intuitive complexity and the graph-theoretic complexity are illustrated. Several properties of the graph theoretic complexity are presented which shows that the software component complexity depends only on the decision structure. A symbolic reliability model for component based software systems from the execution path of software components connected in series, parallel or mixed configuration network structure is presented with a crisp narration of the factors which influence computation of the overall reliability of component based software systems. In this paper, reliability estimation model for software components using Component Execution Paths (CEP) based on graph theory is elucidated.

Purpose In most developing countries riveting, upset forging and punching operations among others are performed using manual hammering technique. The use of the manual method increases production time and reduces efficiency. The use of the manual approach is predominantly due to the high cost of imported automated hammering machines (AHM) which the majority of the end-users are incapable of acquiring. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to produce an AHM that is affordable using an effective material selection methodology in the design and fabrication process. Design/methodology/approach The material selection methodology proposed is the fuzzy multi-objective optimisation on the basis of the ratio analysis (MOORA) method. The tool was used to evaluate and determine the optimum material for the major of the components of the AHM from amongst alternative materials while considering several decision criteria. A case study of the shaft was applied to demonstrate the suitability of the proposed technique. The AHM components design is then carried out and machine fabricated and tested to ascertain performance effectiveness. Findings The result of the fuzzy MOORA evaluation showed that alloy steel is the optimal material for the shaft. The fuzzy MOORA approach was compared with the fuzzy Vlsekriterijumska Optimizacija Ikompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) and fuzzy grey relational analysis (GRA) methods to validate the proposed method. The fuzzy MOORA method produces completely the same result with the fuzzy VIKOR and fuzzy GRA methods. The machine was then designed, constructed and tested and found to be effective for the purpose of the design. Originality/value This is significant as no such study has been published by any other researcher to the best of our knowledge in this area.
