Measures of dependability can be used in management of hazard.
Applications to cloud QoS modeling include the use of SPNs to evaluate the dependability of a cloud infrastructure [68], considering both reliability and availability.
The primary goal of the study is the increase of dependability of digital systems using self-healing techniques.
Reliability was assessed using the generalizability theory, which allowed computing indexes of dependability (ϕ, analogous to intraclass correlation coefficient) and standard errors of measurement (SEM).
Section 3 discusses challenges in the modeling of dependability characteristics in CPS systems and uses formal methods to model and reason about dependability needs in CPS applications.
This paper briefly surveys the state of the art in methods for certifying legacy (or COTS) systems, and proposes improved procedures for the future, including the increased use of formal verification methods to enhance dependability.
Strategies to achieve dependability included: the use of a structured interview schedule, audio recording and transcription of the interviews, the application of framework analysis that outlines the analysis process and, agreement of themes reached by all researchers.
A factor contributing to the VFR1200's weight is its use of shaft drive — a feature once felt to bolster a motorcycle's image of dependability — rather than a chain.
