Formal Fault Tree Analysis - Practical Experiences
Safety is an important requirement for many modern systems. To ensure safety of complex critical systems, well-known safety analysis methods have been formalized. This holds in pa...

Formal Specification in Collaborative Design of Critical Software Tools
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...

Formal Safety Analysis of a Radio-Based Railroad Crossing Using Deductive Cause-Consequence Analysis (DCCA)
Abstract. In this paper we present the formal safety analysis of a radiobased railroad crossing. We use deductive cause-consequence analysis (DCCA) as analysis method. DCCA is a no...

Formal Fault Tree Analysis of State Transition Systems
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a traditional deductive safety analysis technique that is applied during the system design stage. However, traditional FTA does not consider transitio...

Symbolic Fault Tree Analysis for Reactive Systems
Fault tree analysis is a traditional and well-established technique for analyzing system design and robustness. Its purpose is to identify sets of basic events, called cut sets, wh...
