TY - GEN A1 - Guo, Zhensheng A1 - Höfig, Kai T1 - Integrated Model-Based Safety Analysis N2 - A method for integrated model-based safety analysis includes integrating a safety analysis model into a system development model of a safety-critical system. The system development model includes model components. The safety analysis model models a failure logic separately for each of the model components. The method includes representing dependencies among the model components with a design structure matrix. The design structure matrix represents each of the model components with a row and a column and shows dependencies between model components with corresponding entries. The method also includes sequencing the design structure matrix, and identifying at least one dependency loop and loop components in the sequenced design structure matrix. The loop components are part of the at least one dependency loop. KW - Integrated model-based safety analysis KW - Safety-critical systems Y1 - 2015 N1 - US Patent App. 14/066,403 ER -
