Safety and reliability are two important aspects of dependability that are needed to be
rigorously evaluated throughout the development life-cycle of a system. Over the years …

Abstract Model-based safety assessment (MBSA) has been one of the major research
thrusts of the System Safety Engineering community for about three decades. It has attracted …

Safety-critical systems (SCSs) mitigate the risk of catastrophic loss of assets and hence do
have high dependability targets. Performance and reliability are the critical dependability …

Evaluating the real-time failure rate of transformers can effectively guide the planning of
maintenance and reduce their failure risk. This paper proposed a novel transformer failure …

Abstract The use of Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs) offers many advantages across a
variety of applications. However, safety assurance is a key barrier to widespread usage …

Dependability is regarded as the ability of the system to provide services that can be trusted
within a specific period. As the complexity and heterogeneity of Internet of Things (IoT) …

Simulations are commonly used to validate the design of autonomous systems. However, as
these systems are increasingly deployed into safety-critical environments with aleatoric …

The offshore wind energy is increasingly becoming an attractive source of energy due to
having lower environmental impact. Effective operation and maintenance that ensures the …

Purpose This study aims to solve the problem that the traditional hierarchically performed
hazard origin and propagation studies (HiP-HOPS) cannot make dynamic model for the …

Cause-consequence Diagram (CCD) is widely used as a deductive safety analysis
technique for decision-making at the critical-system design stage. This approach models the …
