Compositional dependability analysis of dynamic systems with uncertainty (2016)
Thesis
Kabir, S. (2016). Compositional dependability analysis of dynamic systems with uncertainty. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218244

Over the past two decades, research has focused on simplifying dependability analysis by looking at how we can synthesise dependability information from system models automatically. This has led to the field of model-based safety assessment (MBSA), w... Read More about Compositional dependability analysis of dynamic systems with uncertainty.

Classical combinatorial fault trees can be used to assess combinations of failures but are unable to capture sequences of faults, which are important in complex dynamic systems. A number of proposed techniques extend fault tree analysis for dynamic s... Read More about Reliability analysis of dynamic systems by translating temporal fault trees into Bayesian networks.

A safety analysis approach to clinical workflows : application and evaluation (2014)
Journal Article
Gordon, N., Kabir, S., Sharvia, S., Walker, M., & Al-Qora’n, L. (in press). A safety analysis approach to clinical workflows : application and evaluation. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 4(3), 82-91. https://doi.org/10.14569/SpecialIssue.2014.040310

Clinical workflows are safety critical workflows as they have the potential to cause harm or death to patients. Their safety needs to be considered as early as possible in the development process. Effective safety analysis methods are required to ens... Read More about A safety analysis approach to clinical workflows : application and evaluation.
