Safety is an important requirement for many modern systems. To ensure safety of complex critical systems, well-known safety analysis methods have been formalized. This holds in pa...
Engineers use software tools to analyze designs for critical systems. Because important decisions are based on tool results, tools must provide valid modeling constructs; engineer...
We present a semantics for fault tree analysis, a technique used for the analysis of safety critical systems, in the real-time interval logic Duration Calculus with Liveness and sh...
This paper analyzes the performability of client-server applications that use a separate fault management architecture for monitoring and controlling of the status of the applicat...
Abstract. In this paper we present the formal safety analysis of a radiobased railroad crossing. We use deductive cause-consequence analysis (DCCA) as analysis method. DCCA is a no...
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a traditional deductive safety analysis technique that is applied during the system design stage. However, traditional FTA does not consider transitio...
Fault tree analysis is a traditional and well-established technique for analyzing system design and robustness. Its purpose is to identify sets of basic events, called cut sets, wh...
