Tackling uncertainty in security assessment of critical infrastructures: Dempster-Shafer Theory vs. Credal Sets Theory

TL;DR: Results demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the two methodologies in prognostic analysis and an approximate updating procedure of Evidential network through equivalent Credal network has been proposed, to overcome the lack of possibility to compute updating in the context of Dempster-Shafer Theory.

Human reliability assessment for complex physical operations in harsh operating conditions

TL;DR: A methodology for quantifying the effect of harsh environmental conditions on the reliability of human actions in performing complex physical operations in extreme environments is presented, based on a hierarchical Bayesian network accounting for causal dependencies among environmental factors, human error modes, and scenario-based activities.

Integrated offshore power operation resilience assessment using Object Oriented Bayesian network

TL;DR: This paper identifies the main requirements for an improved resilience of an offshore power management scheme and adopts the object-oriented Bayesian network format to model resilience as a function of anticipated reactions, system adaptability, absorptive capability and restoration.

A novel approach for reliability assessment of residual heat removal system for HPR1000 based on failure mode and effect analysis, fault tree analysis, and fuzzy Bayesian network methods

TL;DR: The proposed approach included identifying the events containing failure modes, failure causes, and resulted failures for the RHRS by FMEA, establishing the FT for theRHRS by FTA, and establishing the FBN model for reliability assessment of the RH RS by FBN according to the transformation process from FT toFBN model.

An integrated approach for dynamic economic risk assessment of process systems

TL;DR: The Bayesian Tree Augmented Naive Bayes (TAN) algorithm is applied to model the precise and concise probabilistic dependencies that exist among key operational process variables to detect faults and predict the time dependent probability of system deviation.

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.
