Coping with evolution in automated production systems implies a cross-disciplinary
challenge along the system's life-cycle for variant-rich systems of high complexity. The …

The objective of this work is to determine and study, analyze and elaborate, classify and
categorize the main risk analysis and risk-assessment methods and techniques by …

Safety and reliability are rigorously assessed during the design of dependable systems.
Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) processes are comprehensive, structured and logical …

Dynamic systems exhibit time-dependent behaviours and complex functional dependencies
amongst their components. Therefore, to capture the full system failure behaviour, it is not …

In this paper, a methodology is proposed to integrate safety analysis within a systems
engineering approach. This methodology is based on SysML models and aims at …

Die Entwicklung von softwarebasierten Fahrzeugsystemen unter Befolgung des neuen
Standards IO 26262 erfordert ein gemeinsames Verständnis sowie die Verzahnung des …

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a classical system safety analysis technique
which is currently widely used in the automotive, aerospace and other safety critical …

There are many challenges which face designers of complex system architectures,
particularly safety–critical or real-time systems. The introduction of Architecture Description …

Dynamic fault tree (DFT) is a top-down deductive technique extended to model systems with
complex failure behaviors and interactions. In two last decades, different methods have …

We propose an integrated methodology for the reliability and dynamic performance analysis
of fault-tolerant systems. This methodology uses a behavioral model of the system dynamics …
