Fault tree analysis is an important technique in determining the
safety and dependability of complex systems. Fault trees are used
as a major tool in the study of system safety as well as in
reliability and availability studies.
The basic methods – construction, logical analysis,
probability evaluation and influence study – are described in
this book. The following extensions of fault trees, non-coherent
fault trees, fault trees with delay and multi-performance fault
trees, are also explained. Traditional algorithms for fault tree
analysis are presented, as well as more recent algorithms based on
binary decision diagrams (BDD).
