System Dependability Evaluation Including S-dependency and Uncertainty

Focusing on system dependability modeling, this book explores the effects of s-dependency and uncertainty through three main approaches: minimal cut, Markov process, and a combined Markov minimal cut approach. It emphasizes the use of Boolean logic throughout the modeling process and introduces efficient approximation methods for complex systems. The text thoroughly analyzes aleatory and epistemic uncertainties, employing Monte Carlo simulations to assess their impact on dependability. Real-world applications are discussed, adhering to the IEC 60050-192:2015 standard across all chapters.
