The open and cooperative nature of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) poses new challenges in assuring dependability. The DEIS project (Dependability Engineering Innovation for automotive CPS. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Hor... Read More about DEIS: Dependability Engineering Innovation for Industrial CPS.

A model-based extension to HiP-HOPS for dynamic fault propagation studies (2017)
Journal Article
Kabir, S., Papadopoulos, Y., Walker, M., Parker, D., Aizpurua, J. I., Lampe, J., & Rüde, E. (2017). A model-based extension to HiP-HOPS for dynamic fault propagation studies. Lecture notes in computer science, 10437 LNCS, 163-178. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-64119-5_11

HiP-HOPS is a model-based approach for assessing the dependability of safety-critical systems. The method combines models, logic, probabilities and nature-inspired algorithms to provide advanced capabilities for design optimisation, requirement alloc...

Model-connected safety cases (2017)
Journal Article
Retouniotis, A., Papadopoulos, Y., Sorokos, I., Parker, D., Matragkas, N., & Sharvia, S. (2017). Model-connected safety cases. Lecture notes in computer science, 10437 LNCS, 50-63. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-64119-5_4

© 2017, Springer International Publishing AG. We propose the concept of a model-connected safety case that could simplify certification of complex systems. System design models support the synthesis of both the structure of the safety case and the ev... Read More about Model-connected safety cases.

Improved dynamic dependability assessment through integration with prognostics (2017)
Journal Article
Aizpurua, J. I., Catterson, V. M., Papadopoulos, Y., Chiacchio, F., & Manno, G. (2017). Improved dynamic dependability assessment through integration with prognostics. IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 66(3), 893-913. https://doi.org/10.1109/tr.2017.2693821

The use of average data for dependability assessments results in a outdated system-level dependability estimation which can lead to incorrect design decisions. With increasing availability of online data, there is room to improve traditional dependab... Read More about Improved dynamic dependability assessment through integration with prognostics.

Supporting group maintenance through prognostics-enhanced dynamic dependability prediction (2017)
Journal Article
Papadopoulos, Y., Aizpurua, J. I., Catterson, V. M., Chiacchio, F., D'Urso, D., Papadopoulos, Y., …D'Urso, D. (2017). Supporting group maintenance through prognostics-enhanced dynamic dependability prediction. Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 168, 171-188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2017.04.005

Condition-based maintenance strategies adapt maintenance planning through the integration of online condition monitoring of assets. The accuracy and cost-effectiveness of these strategies can be improved by integrating prognostics predictions and gro...

On cost-effective reuse of components in the design of complex reconfigurable systems (2017)
Journal Article
Aizpurua, J. I., Papadopoulos, Y., Muxika, E., Chiacchio, F., & Manno, G. (2017). On cost-effective reuse of components in the design of complex reconfigurable systems. Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 33(7), 1387-1406. https://doi.org/10.1002/qre.2112

Design strategies that benefit from the reuse of system components can reduce costs while maintaining or increasing dependability—we use the term dependability to tie together reliability and availability. D3H2 (aDaptive Dependable Design for systems... Read More about On cost-effective reuse of components in the design of complex reconfigurable systems.
