In order to facilitate incremental modeling and analysis of fault-tolerant embedded systems, we introduce an object analysis pattern, called the detector pattern, that provides a ...
Dynamic Fault Trees (DFT) extend standard fault trees by allowing the modeling of complex system components’ behaviors and interactions. Being a high level model and easy to use...
—Reliability analysis has become a tool of fundamental importance to virtually all electrical and computer engineers because of the extensive usage of hardware systems in safety ...
A method is described for the analysis and the verification of safety in software systems. The method offers a formal notation for describing the software structure, the means for ...
Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a method for assessing cause-consequence relations between component faults and hazards that may occur during the lifetime of a system. ...
