An existing server and client for the system are modified to perform HTTP duties and graphically advanced reliability analysis. The technical background and the relationship of the WWW and client/server system is explained. With the developed system, the design engineers and reliability analysts can analyze the reliability of the system more quickly and conveniently. ? 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

INTRODUCTION Information systems are used in many practical applications and sometimes it is very useful for decision making. The accepted notion for the information system is that it should model the flow of information in a given organizational structure. In reliability engineering, researchers are faced with several difficult tasks in accessing and analyzing data. Most data are accumulated in the system development site apart from the reliability analysts site. In case of component data, the application-specific data (for example, applied stress levels, number of functional pins, etc.) which is designed by system developers are important when computing failure rate of each component. It is important to obtain such data at a right moment for concurrent engineering. The client/server approach is perceived as an effective way to integrate computing resources in an organization. Users can share data, applications, and processing power in the client/server environment much easier than in the traditional centralized computing environment. The ability to balance the work load between client
