ABSTRACT
Vergara Fernandez 2003). Based on these previous studies, the present approach aims at a global analysis covering the whole MPS. Due to the size and complexity of the MPS, this aim is regarded as hardly achievable with classic techniques exclusively. A new modelling concept for a highly fault-tolerant and safe system with respect to the trade-off between availability and safety is required. For this purpose, a generic methodology is being developed. It uses an object-oriented approach to build a model frame which merges Monte Carlo method with results of FTA.
