Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a very prominent method to analyze the risks related to safety
and economically critical assets, like power plants, airplanes, data centers and web shops …

With the adoption of autonomous systems in higher levels of autonomy, large-scale,
complex and dynamic systems are becoming commonplace. Ensuring safe operation of …

Traditional fault tree (FT) analysis is widely used for reliability and safety assessment of
complex and critical engineering systems. The behavior of components of complex systems …

Dependability tools are becoming an indispensable tool for modeling and analyzing (critical)
systems. However the growing complexity of such systems calls for increasing sophistication …

This paper presents a new state-space generation approach for dynamic fault trees (DFTs)
that exploits several successful reduction techniques from the field of model checking. The …

Dynamic fault trees (DFT) extend standard fault trees by allowing the modeling of complex
system components' behaviors and interactions. Being a high level model and easy to use …

This paper shows how recent Bayesian network (BN) algorithms can be used to model time
to failure distributions and perform reliability analysis of complex systems in a simple unified …

This paper focuses on a sub-class of Dynamic Fault Trees (DFTs), called Priority Dynamic
Fault Trees (PDFTs), containing only static gates, and Priority Dynamic Gates (Priority-AND …

Load-sharing systems have several practical applications. In load-sharing systems, the
event of a component failure will result in a higher load, therefore inducing a higher failure …

We explore the usage of Bayesian networks (BNs) for reliability modeling and analysis of
dynamic systems. Dynamic system components exhibit complex behaviors and interactions …
