By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Singapore : World Scientific, ©2015.Description: xviii, 251 p. : illustrations ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9789814612036
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 000SA.161 23 P852
Contents:
1. Dependability and Reliability; 2. Probabilistic Graphical Models; 3. From Fault Trees to Bayesian Networks; 4. From Dynamic Fault Tree to Dynamic Bayesian Networks; 5. Decision Theoretic Dependability; 6. The RADyBaN Tool: Supporting Dependability Engineers to Exploit Probabilistic Graphical Models; 7. Case Study 1: Cascading Failures; 8. Case Study 2: Autonomous Fault Detection, Identification and Recovery; 9. Case Study 3: Security Assessment in Critical Infrastructures; 10. Case Study 4: Dynamic Reliability; Appendix.
Summary: The monographic volume addresses, in a systematic and comprehensive way, the state-of-the-art dependability (reliability, availability, risk and safety, security) of systems, using the Artificial Intelligence framework of Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM). After a survey about the main concepts and methodologies adopted in dependability analysis, the book discusses the main features of PGM formalisms (like Bayesian and Decision Networks) and the advantages, both in terms of modeling and analysis, with respect to classical formalisms and model languages.Methodologies for deriving PGMs from standard dependability formalisms will be introduced, by pointing out tools able to support such a process. Several case studies will be presented and analyzed to support the suitability of the use of PGMs in the study of dependable systems.
