Fault tree analysis is an important technique in determining thesafety and dependability of complex systems. Fault trees are usedas a major tool in the study of system safety as well as inreliability and availability studies.
The basic methods - construction, logical analysis,probability evaluation and influence study - are described inthis book. The following extensions of fault trees, non-coherentfault trees, fault trees with delay and multi-performance faulttrees, are also explained. Traditional algorithms for fault treeanalysis are presented, as well as more recent algorithms based onbinary decision diagrams (BDD).
