Abstract

In the past, standard reliability and risk approaches have sufficed to identify the dominant causes of failure in forensic analyses, and the dominant risk contributors for proactive risk investigations. These techniques are particularly applicable when individual or even simple common failure events of a similar type dominate the analysis. However, nowadays due to increased understanding of the ‘simple’ mechanisms and the increasing complexity of the systems we build, failures in highly dependable systems arise from unexpected interactions between subsystems and the external and internal environment.
