Abstract :
In this paper, a new standard language called RIIF (Reliability Information Interchange Format) is defined which enables designers to specify the failure characteristics and reliability requirements for simple and complex components. This language enables EDA tools to analyze reliability models and to compute the failure rates for complex systems. A formal language makes it possible for suppliers and consumers to exchange reliability information in a consistent fashion and to use this information to build accurate reliability models. The RIIF language is a general purpose reliability modeling language and is not tied to a specific application domain or implementation technology.
