Abstract

For engineering fields to evolve, the concept of reliability must be brought in and fine-tuned towards excellent implemented achievements. Different engineering fields will be having different reliability notions but one common trend of progress among these fields is the need to devise metrics for quantifiable measurement and producing the knowledge of the theoretical trends for these metrics. Ubicomp also faces the need for dependability [1] and quite some work in producing metrics and their theoretical trends have been carried out [14-65]. In former papers [66, 67], it was mentioned that the methodology used for developing the results concerning the sixteen metrics has also been novel and involved implementing components not available formerly. This methodology was split into five steps
