SysML Aided Safety Analysis for Safety-Critical Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7002))

Abstract

Traditionally safety analysis on hardware and software are carried out separately, so the analysis on the interface of hardware and software is a difficult problem and a week point of the kind of analysis. To meet the challenge, this paper present a SysML aided method for safety analysis by providing heuristic rules of transforming diagrams of SysML to FMEA and FTA. A case study on a typical control system is given for illustration.
