With the second issue of Reliability Edge, we continue to bring you articles on reliability engineering and related topics. Topics range from a simple (and fun) introduction to accelerated life testing principles to a detailed presentation about using reliability analyses on simulated data to inform and explore life data analysis techniques. The article on the Weibull shape parameter, beta, helps to put a common reliability analysis assumption into perspective.

In addition, we have again attempted to provide you with updates and announcements about the reliability engineering software, services and theoretical resources that ReliaSoft offers in a format that will be easy to reference quickly.

We continue to welcome your submissions, queries, comments and suggestions for improvement in future issues. We received an encouraging response from readers after the publication of our first issue and we will continue to use your feedback to improve the format and content of this resource. For submissions, queries, comments and suggestions please contact ReliaSoft Publishing.
