چکیده

Fault trees are a key technique in safety and reliability engineering. Their application includes aerospace, nuclear power, car, and process engineering industries. Various fault tree extensions exist that increase expressiveness while yielding succinct models. Their analysis is a main bottleneck: techniques do not scale and require manual effort. Formal methods have an enormous potential to solve these issues. We discuss a mixture of formal method techniques resulting in a fully automated and scalable approach to analyze Dugan’s dynamic fault trees.

Formal Fault Tree Semantics

In train control systems, more and more (electro-)mechanical devices are substituted by software based devices. To sustain the high level safety standards for these embedded systems, we propose the integration of fault tree analysis and formal methods. This combines two important safety analysis methods from the involved domains of engineering and software development. Our approach proposes to ...

Formal fault tree construction and system safety analysis

Fault Tree Analysis is a traditional deductive safety analysis technique that is applied during the system design stage. However, traditional fault trees often suffer from a lack of formal semantics to check the correctness or consistency of the descriptions. This is especially a problem in safety-critical system analysis. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel formal fault tree constr...

Bayes Networks and Fault Tree Analysis Application in Reliability Estimation (Case Study: Automatic Water Sprinkler System)

In this study, the application of Bayes networks and fault tree analysis in reliability estimation have been investigated. Fault tree analysis is one of the most widely used methods for estimating reliability. In recent years, a method called "Bayes Network" has been used, which is a dynamic method, and information about the probable failure of the system components will be updated according to...
