Abstract
A procedure is given for generating the reliability function directly from the Boolean algebra transmission function. This method is easily programmed on the computer so that it can be utilized both in the derivation of the reliability function and in the evaluation of the reliability. The easily obtained transmission function completely defines the relationship between elements in a configuration. Thus, by utilizing this technique, a large variety of complicated configurations can be easily evaluated and compared.Keywords
