We present a semantics for fault tree analysis, a technique used for the analysis of safety critical systems, in the real-time interval logic Duration Calculus with Liveness and sh...
Fault trees provide a graphical and logical framework for analyzing the reliability of systems. A fault tree provides a conceptually simple modeling framework to represent the sys...

Engineers use software tools to analyze designs for critical systems. Because important decisions are based on tool results, tools must provide valid modeling constructs; engineer...
With the rapid progress in science and technology, we find ubiquitous use of safety-critical systems in avionics, consumer electronics, and medical instruments. In such systems, u...
In the foreseeable future, software testing will remain one of the best tools we have at our disposal to ensure software dependability. Empirical studies are crucial to software t...
