講座摘要: We first give an historical account of the origin of reliability engineering so as to understand how it has impacted the development of various major technological breakthroughs in the last 70 years. Knowing the past and how we get here today, we follow up by discussing some challenges that were motivated by real world problems. The main objective of the talk is to provide an appraisal of the state of development of reliability and share some of my personal journey in this area. At the same time, we also hope to provoke further thoughts and ideas on how we should respond to these challenges.
