The reliability of a system is the probability that the system will perform a specified function satisfactorily during some interval of time under specified operating conditions. In general fuzzy sets are used to analyze the system reliability. In this paper we present a new method for analyzing fuzzy reliability of series-parallel network systems based on vague set theory, where the reliabilities of components of a system are represented by vague sets defined in the universe of discourse [0, 1].
