Q2. What have the authors stated for future works in "An overview of fault tree analysis and its application in model based dependability analysis" ?
Therefore, future research associated with these approaches are likely to concern with the improvement of the power and time complexity of the tools and techniques in the context of large and complex system models. This has open new avenues for further research to develop expert systems by combining MBDA approaches with other soft computing approaches for the assurance of dependability of such open systems. One possible avenue worthy of further research is the improvement of the MBDA approaches to perform real time analysis of systems—though it will complicate the analysis process and affect the scalability of the approaches. Future trends are likely to leading to more robust integrations between different existing MBDA approaches so that different strengths ( e. g. dependability analysis and model checking capability ) of the existing approaches can be utilised in a complementary manner.
