and is entitled<br>
<br>
"Interactive Visualizations Supporting Minimal Cut Set Analysis
II".<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
<br>
For analyzing safety and reliability of systems, so-called
Minimal Cut Sets<br>
(MCS) are generated. The information generated by Minimal Cut
Set (MCS)<br>
analysis is large. This information contains the logic of a
fault tree (FT)<br>
under analysis. The Top Level Event (TLE), which is the root of
the FT,<br>
represents a hazardous state of the system being analyzed. MCS
analysis helps<br>
in analyzing the fault tree qualitatively—and quantitatively
when accompanied<br>
with quantitative measures. MCS analysis identifies weaknesses
of the system<br>
being examined.<br>
Safety analysis (containing the MCS analysis) is especially
important for<br>
critical systems, where harm can be done to the environment, or
to humans<br>
causing injuries or even death during the system usage. MCS
analysis is<br>
performed using computers generating a lot of information. This
phase is<br>
called MCS analysis I in this thesis. The information is then
analyzed by the<br>
analysts to determine possible issues and to improve the design
of the system<br>
regarding its safety as early as possible. This phase is called
MCS analysis II<br>
in this thesis. <br>
The goal of my thesis was developing interactive visualizations
to support<br>
MCS analysis II of one fault tree (FT).<br>
