Preface
Nowadays, in many fields of application, it is fundamental to define and fulfil Dependability performances. For a complex equipment in avionics, automotive, transportation – only considering some examples – we have to take into account the functional requirements of the system and, in addition, its requirements in terms of Reliability, Maintainability, Availability and Safety. In other words, it is fundamental to evaluate as the functional requirements of the equipment under consideration are maintained in the time, in specified conditions of use. For these reasons it is fundamental, as starting point, to focus the attention on the correct use of the terminology in this field. To this aim, in Chapter 1, an overview of the most important terms correlated with Dependability is proposed. Referring to the International Standard, we can assume Dependability as the collective term used to describe the availability perf
