Reliability Analysis of Computer Security System Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Fault Tree

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fault tree analysis has been widely used for providing logical functional relationships among subsystems and components of a system and identifying the root causes of the undesired failures in a system. This paper analyzes the reliability of Computer Security System through the method of intuitionistic fuzzy fault tree, which is based on L-R type triangular intuitionistic fuzzy set. In this paper, a new approach of intuitionistic fuzzy fault-tree analysis is proposed to calculate fault interval of system components from integrating expert’s knowledge and experience in terms of providing the possibility of failure of bottom events and to find the most critical system component that affects the reliability of the system, which could be used for managerial decision-making. For numerical verification, the proposed method is applied for the failure analysis problem of Computer Security System to generate the fault-tree, fault-tree nodes, then directly compute the intuitionistic fuzzy fault-tree interval, traditional reliability, and the intuitionistic fuzzy reliability interval.
