Model-based approach for automatic generation of IEC-61025 standard compliant fault trees

Reliability and safety of complex software-intensive systems are proved to be a crucial matter since most of these systems fulfil tasks, where a failure could lead to catastrophic consequences. For example, in space systems such as satellites, a failure could result in the loss of the satellite. Therefore, a certain level of reliability and safety must be assured for such systems to trust the services they provide. Standards set this level and put requirements for the analysis and assurance of these properties using documented evidence. In particular, European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) standards for space systems require Fault Tree Analysis(FTA) for identifying the causes of system failure and consequently safety hazards, as well as fault trees as evidence for the assurance of reliability and safety. In this thesis, we present a tool supported model-based approach to generate fault tree automatically from an existing system modelling and analysis toolset. CHESS is a system and dependability modelling toolset and integrates Concerto-FLA to enable the support of failure logic analysis. We proposed a model-based transformation from Concerto-FLA to fault tree model and implemented it as an Eclipse plugin in CHESS toolset. A case study is performed in the aerospace domain; more specifically we modelled Attitude Control System (ACS) and automatically generated IEC-61025-compliant fault trees. / AMASS project
