Abstract
Consider a (chemical, nuclear,...) process plant controlled by a computer system. The design of such a process plant includes global dependability analysis by process experts, for whom the plant is a system of which the computer control is a subsystem. This dependability analysis may range from cost-effectiveness considerations to safety assurance through hazard analysis. The dependability models and mechanisms presented in other chapters describe how such a subsystem may contain and recover from its own misbehaviour.
