Reliability analysis for integrated networks with unreliable nodes and software failures in the time domain

In this paper, an approach of analyzing the reliability for an integrated network with unreliable nodes and software failure is developed. An example is given in which the software failure is depicted by the Jelinski Moranda De-Eutrophication Model, and the failures of hardware and link follow the Poisson process. The impact of failure and time on software utilization is explored.
