Abstract
An approach to the optimization of software reliability is proposed. The emphasis is put on the software redundancy to achieve fault tolerance, i.e. the results of the optimization process are used to determine the optimal structure of the software to be developed. Two optimization models are formulated covering, respectively, modified recovery block scheme and multiversion programming approaches. Both cases are illustrated by simple examples. The models show that it is possible to formulate and solve some software related reliability optimization problems. They further show that the concept of redundancy to achieve fault tolerance (basic for the traditional theory of reliability) can be used in the field of software reliability optimization. >
