Identification of systems reliability

A purpose of the article is discussing the method of technical systems reliability modelling. The most important methods used for constructing realist models of the physical world, i.e. the method of the experimental modelling and the method of the probabilistic modelling, were presented. The particular attention was focussed on the method of the probabilistic modelling allowing for taking into account uncertainty in functioning of systems. An example of using the proposed method to the modelling of the reliability of the air-traffic-control-system was quoted.
