Several attack models exist today that attempt to describe cyber-attacks to varying degrees of granularity. Fast and effective decision-making during cyber-attacks is often vital, especially during incidents in which reputation, finance and physical damage can have a crippling effect on people and organisations. Such attacks can render an organisation paralysed, and it may cease to function, we...

This paper presents a demonstration of a process and software for evaluating the ability of an electronic product to operate with out failure under anticipated life cycle loading conditions. For this purpose, a preliminary design for an electronic module that is being developed to support aircraft engines was selected and evaluated. The process included developing a model of the physical hardwa...

Congestive heart failure is a common, chronic and debilitating condition with an extremely poor prognosis. This paper presents an approach to creation of risk assessment model for congestive heart failure. Two types of hierarchical multi-attribute models are developed and compared: qualitative and quantitative. The results for both models showed that the models can successfully assist and help ...

In this paper, we propose an algorithm based on Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) for computing all-terminal reliability. It is defined as the probability that the nodes in the network can communicate to each other, taking into account the possible failures of network links. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by performing experiments on several large networks represented by stochas...
