Abstract Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a well-established and well-understood technique,
widely used for dependability evaluation of a wide range of systems. Although many …

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

Abstract As Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are a class of systems advancing in a number
of safety-critical application areas, it is crucial to ensure that they operate without causing …

Temporal fault trees (TFTs), an extension of classical Boolean fault trees, can model time-
dependent failure behaviour of dynamic systems. The methodologies used for quantitative …

The agricultural industry has the potential to undergo a revolutionary transformation with the
use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Crop monitoring can be improved, waste reduced …

The complexity of industrial processes imposes a lot of challenges in building accurate and
representative causal models for abnormal events diagnosis, control and maintenance of …

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 …

Fault tree analysis is a probability-based technique for estimating the risk of an undesired
top event, typically a system failure. Traditionally, building a fault tree requires involvement …
