A Multi-agent Based Approach to Reliability Prediction of Trains Control and Monitoring Software System

This paper describes a reliability prediction approach to the train’s control and monitoring system based on the multi-agent model and simulation. For the train’s control and monitoring system’s large-scale elements, multiple internal interactions and the complexity of the relationship, the multi-agent based reliability prediction method is proposed to meet its features. Firstly, the multi-agent system modeling and simulation method is introduced. Secondly, we focus on the study of the multi-agent based software system reliability modeling and simulation. Finally, in order to verify the validity of this proposed method, an actual project is taken to predict its reliability, and the simulation data is processed and analyzed, and the problem of the complex software system’s reliability prediction is solved.
