Adapting dynamic reliability from probabilistic safety analysis to fault-tolerant control?

Summary form only given. Dynamic reliability is a general modeling framework that allows to accounting for the hybrid (i.e. discrete-continuous) nature of reliability and safety problems. It actually originates from the fields of probabilistic safety analysis, a.o. for nuclear power plants, and from attempts at accounting for control devices in system reliability theory. The proposed talk aims to review the concepts and methodology of dynamic reliability and their potential applications to fault-tolerant control and other applications.
