Download or read book Advanced Concepts In Nuclear Energy Risk Assessment And Management written by Tunc Aldemir and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 30 years, numerous concerns have been raised in the literature regarding the capability of static modeling approaches such as the event-tree (ET)/fault-tree (FT) methodology to adequately account for the impact of process/hardware/software/firmware/human interactions on nuclear power plant safety assessment, and methodologies to augment the ET/FT approach have been proposed. Often referred to as dynamic probabilistic risk/safety assessment (DPRA/DPSA) methodologies, which use a time-dependent phenomenological model of system evolution along with a model of its stochastic behavior to model for possible dependencies among failure events. The book contains a collection of papers that describe at existing plant level applicable DPRA/DPSA tools, as well as techniques that can be used to augment the ET/FT approach when needed.

This book was released on 2004-12-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique introduction to the innovative methodology of statisticalflowgraphs This book offers a practical, application-based approach toflowgraph models for time-to-event data. It clearly shows how thisinnovative new methodology can be used to analyze data fromsemi-Markov processes without prior knowledge of stochasticprocesses--opening the door to interesting applications in survivalanalysis and reliability as well as stochastic processes. Unlike other books on multistate time-to-event data, this workemphasizes reliability and not just biostatistics, illustratingeach method with medical and engineering examples. It demonstrateshow flowgraphs bring together applied probability techniques andcombine them with data analysis and statistical methods to answerquestions of practical interest. Bayesian methods of data analysisare emphasized. Coverage includes: * Clear instructions on how to model multistate time-to-event datausing flowgraph models * An emphasis on computation, real data, and Bayesian methods forproblem solving * Real-world examples for analyzing data from stochasticprocesses * The use of flowgraph models to analyze complex stochasticnetworks * Exercise sets to reinforce the practical approach of thisvolume Flowgraph Models for Multistate Time-to-Event Data is an invaluableresource/reference for researchers in biostatistics/survivalanalysis, systems engineering, and in fields that use stochasticprocesses, including anthropology, biology, psychology, computerscience, and engineering.

Download or read book Fault Detection Supervision and Safety of Technical Processes 2006 written by Hong-Yue Zhang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 1576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The safe and reliable operation of technical systems is of great significance for the protection of human life and health, the environment, and of the vested economic value. The correct functioning of those systems has a profound impact also on production cost and product quality. The early detection of faults is critical in avoiding performance degradation and damage to the machinery or human life. Accurate diagnosis then helps to make the right decisions on emergency actions and repairs. Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) has developed into a major area of research, at the intersection of systems and control engineering, artificial intelligence, applied mathematics and statistics, and such application fields as chemical, electrical, mechanical and aerospace engineering. IFAC has recognized the significance of FDD by launching a triennial symposium series dedicated to the subject. The SAFEPROCESS Symposium is organized every three years since the first symposium held in Baden-Baden in 1991. SAFEPROCESS 2006, the 6th IFAC Symposium on Fault Detection, Supervision and Safety of Technical Processes was held in Beijing, PR China. The program included three plenary papers, two semi-plenary papers, two industrial talks by internationally recognized experts and 258 regular papers, which have been selected out of a total of 387 regular and invited papers submitted. * Discusses the developments and future challenges in all aspects of fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control * 8 invited and 36 contributed sessions included with a special session on the demonstration of process monitoring and diagnostic software tools

Download or read book Model Driven Software Migration A Methodology written by Christian Wagner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, reliable software systems are the basis of any business or company. The continuous further development of those systems is the central component in software evolution. It requires a huge amount of time- man power- as well as financial resources. The challenges are size, seniority and heterogeneity of those software systems. Christian Wagner addresses software evolution: the inherent problems and uncertainties in the process. He presents a model-driven method which leads to a synchronization between source code and design. As a result the model layer will be the central part in further evolution and source code becomes a by-product. For the first time a model-driven procedure for maintenance and migration of software systems is described. The procedure is composed of a model-driven reengineering and a model-driven migration phase. The application and effectiveness of the procedure are confirmed with a reference implementation applied to four exemplary systems.

Download or read book Model driven development methodology for hybrid embedded systems based on UML with emphasis on safety related requirements written by Daw Pérez, Zamira Angélica and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Entwicklung eingebetteter Systeme wird aufgrund der immer anspruchsvolleren Anwendungen sowie der Verwendung von leistungsfähigeren Hardware-Architekturen (z.B. Multicore-, Hybrid-Systeme) immer komplexer. Modellgetriebene Methoden reduzieren die Komplexität des Systems mittels angemessenen Abstraktionsniveaus. Diese Arbeit stellt die modellgetriebene Entwicklungsmethodik DMOSES (Determi-nistische Modelle für die signalverarbeitenden eingebetteten Systeme) vor. Diese Methodik strebt die Verbesserung der Entwicklung hybrider eingebetteten Systeme (z.B. CPUs und FPGAs) hinsichtlich der Komplexität mittels anpassbarer Abstraktionseben, automatischer Codegenerierung und Systemverifikation an. Systeme werden mittels UML-Verhaltensmodelle spezifiziert, deren erweiterte Semantik relevante funktionale und nicht-funktionale Aspekte hybrider eingebetteten Systemen beschreibt. Eine anpassbare Abstraktionsebene wird durch die Integration von automatischer Code-Generierung und optimierbarem Code erreicht. Außerdem werden Sicherheitsanforderungen durch die Integration von Analysetechniken (Formale Verifikation, Ausführungszeit-Analyse und Software-Verträgen) in die Entwicklungsmethodik verifiziert.
