Designing safety-critical systems is a complex process, and especially when the design is carried out at different f abstraction where the correctness of the design at one level i...
Event trees are a popular technique for modelling accidents in system safety analyses. Bayesian networks are a probabilistic modelling technique representing influences between unc...
The main focus of this paper is the problem of ensuring timeliness in safety critical systems. First, we introduce a method and its associated technique to model both real-time ta...
In principle, bounded model checking (BMC) leads to semidecision procedures that can be used to verify liveness properties and to falsify safety properties. If the procedures fail...
The widespread adoption of embedded microprocessor-based systems for safety critical applications mandates the use of co-design tools able to evaluate system dependability at ever...
