An autonomous system for maintenance scheduling data-rich complex infrastructure: Fusing the railways' condition, planning and cost

TL;DR: The design strategy of a novel in-paralleled system for automatic job scheduling is presented and real track incident and inspection datasets were analyzed to raise gradation alarms that initiate the automatic scheduling of maintenance tasks.

A model-driven framework for design and verification of embedded systems through SystemVerilog

TL;DR: UML profile for SystemVerilog (UMLSV) is proposed to model the design and verification requirements of embedded systems in the context of Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) and a temporal extension of Object Constraint Language is used to capture the verification requirements in U MLSV.

A multiformalism modular approach to ertms/etcs failure modeling

TL;DR: The results show that the multiformalism modeling approach helps to cope with complexity, eases the verification of availability requirements and can be successfully applied to the analysis of complex critical systems.

Towards Model-Driven V&V assessment of railway control systems

TL;DR: The usage of appropriate Unified Modeling Language profiles featuring system analysis and test case specification capabilities, together with tool chains for model transformations and analysis, seems a viable way to allow end-users to concentrate on high-level holistic models and specification of non-functional requirements and support the automation of the V&V process.

Basic concepts and taxonomy of dependable and secure computing

TL;DR: The aim is to explicate a set of general concepts, of relevance across a wide range of situations and, therefore, helping communication and cooperation among a number of scientific and technical communities, including ones that are concentrating on particular types of system, of system failures, or of causes of systems failures.

Basic Concepts and Taxonomy of Dependable and Secure Computing

TL;DR: In this paper, the main definitions relating to dependability, a generic concept including a special case of such attributes as reliability, availability, safety, integrity, maintainability, etc.

Improving the analysis of dependable systems by mapping fault trees into Bayesian networks

TL;DR: It is shown that any FT can be directly mapped into a BN and that basic inference techniques on the latter may be used to obtain classical parameters computed from the former, i.e. reliability of the Top Event or of any sub-system, criticality of components, etc.

Bayesian networks without tears: making Bayesian networks more accessible to the probabilistically unsophisticated

TL;DR: Bayesian networks as discussed by the authors have become popular within the AI probability and uncertainty community, and it is probably fair to say that Bayesian networks are to a large segment of the AI-uncertainty community what resolution theorem proving is to the AIlogic community.
