Fuzzy temporal fault tree analysis of dynamic systems (2016)
Journal Article
Kabir, S., Papadopoulos, Y., Walker, M., Rüde, E., & Securius, P. (2016). Fuzzy temporal fault tree analysis of dynamic systems. International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 77, 20-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijar.2016.05.006

Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a powerful technique that is widely used for evaluating system safety and reliability. It can be used to assess the effects of combinations of failures on system behaviour but is unable to capture sequence dependent dynam...

Application of the D3H2 methodology for the cost-effective design of dependable systems (2016)
Journal Article
Aizpurua, J. I., Muxika, E., Papadopoulos, Y., Chiacchio, F., & Manno, G. (2016). Application of the D3H2 methodology for the cost-effective design of dependable systems. Safety, 2(2), Article 9. https://doi.org/10.3390/safety2020009

The use of dedicated components as a means of achieving desirable levels of fault tolerance in a system may result in high costs. A cost effective way of restoring failed functions is to use heterogeneous redundancies: components that, besides perfor...
