A credibility evaluation method for complex simulation systems based on interactive network analysis

TL;DR: A validated method was applied to evaluate the credibility of the complex hardware-in-the-loop simulation system composed with over 100 components, which provided a quantitative way instead of traditional qualitative evaluation by experts.

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.
