A probabilistic model of belief in safety cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
A safety case is a hierarchical argument supported by evidence, whose scope defined contextual information. The goal to show that the conclusion of such argument, typically “the system acceptably safe”, true. However, because knowledge about systems always imperfect, value true cannot be assigned with absolute certainty. Instead, researchers have proposed assess belief true, which should high for safe system. Existing methods calculations were shown suffer from various limitations lead unrealistic values. This paper presents novel method, underlined formal definitions concepts as being or context defining scope. Given these definitions, general, probabilistic model calculation in an arbitrary derived. Because derived independent any safety-case notation, elements commonly used notation are mapped and corresponding represented Bayesian Network enable large-scale calculations. Finally, method applied scenarios where previous produce values, it presented produces values expected.

A Model of Minimal Probabilistic Belief Revision∗
In the literature there are at least two models for probabilistic belief revision: Bayesian updating and imaging (Lewis (1973, 1976), Gärdenfors (1988)). In this paper we focus on imaging rules that can be described by the following procedure: (1) Identify every state with some real valued vector of characteristics, and accordingly identify every probabilistic belief with an expected vector of ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Model-Based Safety Analysis
Model-based safety analysis approaches aim at finding critical failure combinations by analysis of models of the whole system (i.e. software, hardware, failure modes and environment). The advantage of these methods compared to traditional approaches is that the analysis of the whole system gives more precise results. Only few model-based approaches have been applied to answer quantitative quest...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
A Bayesian Belief Net Model to Evaluating Organizational Safety Risks
A Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) is a valuable tool to represent the causal relationships that exist in a given set of variables. This paper presents a methodology for organizational risk analysis for safety management. Learning a BBN from data is a difficult and resource-consuming task, we presents the implementation of a greedy algorithm that automatically constructs a BBN from a dataset of ca...
متن کاملProbabilistic-Possibilistic Belief Networks
The interpretation of membership functions of fuzzy sets as statistical likelihood functions leads to a probabilistic-possibilistic hierarchical description of uncertain knowledge. The fundamental advantage of the resulting fuzzy probabilities with respect to imprecise probabilities is the ability of using all the information provided by the data. This paper studies the possibility of using fuz...
