The optimal satisfaction of dependability attributes and cost, in the design of engineering systems, is a hard multi-objective optimization problem which requires automated algorithms that can effectively search large design spaces. In this paper, a... Read More about Multi-objective optimization of dependability attributes using an asynchronous heterogeneous hierarchical parallel genetic algorithm.

The inclusion of NOT gates in a fault tree creates a 'non-coherent' structure in which not only the failure of a component but also the negation of failure, i.e. the working state of the component, can contribute to the undesirable effects on a syste...
