Abstract

The research paper "Enhancing System Reliability with Anomaly Detection" explores the pivotal role of anomaly detection techniques in improving system reliability across various industries, including aerospace, healthcare, telecommunications, and automotive. System reliability, defined as the probability of a system performing its intended function without failure over a specified period, is quantified using metrics such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). The paper highlights the challenges in maintaining system reliability due to the increasing complexity of systems, dynamic operational environments, and the limitations of traditional monitoring methods. Anomaly detection, which identifies patterns in data that deviate from expected behavior, is proposed as a solution to these challenges. The research investigates various anomaly detection methods, including statistical methods, machine learning algorithms, and deep learning techniques, assessing their effectiveness in different contexts. The study aims to identify the most effective methods for enhancing system reliability, offering practical recommendations for organizations. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, methodology, and findings, the paper provides valuable insights into how early detection of anomalies can lead to proactive maintenance strategies, reduced downtime, and improved overall system performance.
