Predikce a analýza spolehlivosti kritických systémů

Abstract

This dissertation thesis deals with dependability issues: methods for reliability, availability, and safety properties prediction to guarantee their requested level before proceeding to the manufacturing process or before the construction of the prototype of designed electronic equipment. My research has been realized in a close cooperation with the industry. The described methods and experimental results are based on solutions of real, practical, and up-to-day real-world problems and they are based on industrial standards. Therefore, one of the main contributions is declaring an insuciency of currently used standards and presentation of new methods how to overcome these problems. The dissertation thesis precisely describes the mostly inconsistent area of dependability, used terminology, modelling methods, and historical developments in this area, up to present technology problems concerning types and probabilities of possible faults.This dissertation thesis deals with dependability issues: methods for reliability, availability, and safety properties prediction to guarantee their requested level before proceeding to the manufacturing process or before the construction of the prototype of designed electronic equipment.
