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 …

Randomization is a key element in sequential and distributed computing. Reasoning about
randomized algorithms is highly non-trivial. In the 1980s, this initiated first proof methods …

We present the probabilistic model checker Storm. Storm supports the analysis of discrete-
and continuous-time variants of both Markov chains and Markov decision processes. Storm …

MathSAT is a long-term project, which has been jointly carried on by FBK-IRST and
University of Trento, with the aim of developing and maintaining a state-of-the-art SMT tool …

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 …

Cyber physical systems, like power plants, medical devices and data centers have to meet
high standards, both in terms of safety (ie absence of unintentional failures) and security (ie …

This paper describes the xSAP safety analysis platform. xSAP provides several model-
based safety analysis features for finite-and infinite-state synchronous transition systems. In …

This paper considers the design-phase safety analysis of vehicle guidance systems. The
proposed approach constructs dynamic fault trees (DFTs) to model a variety of safety …

Contract-based design is an emerging paradigm for the design of complex systems, where
each component is associated with a contract, ie, a clear description of the expected …

In model-based safety analysis both qualitative aspects ie what must go wrong for a system
failure) and quantitative aspects (ie how probable is a system failure) are very important. For …
