dc.description.abstractPresented is a novel framework for incorporating safety analysis in early systems architecture design.Traditionally, a systems architecture is first defined by the architects and then passed to safety experts, who manually create artefacts such as Function Hazard Analysis (FHA) or Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) for safety assessment. The problem with this manual approach is that if the architect modifies the systems architecture, then the whole safety assessment process needs to be repeated, which is tedious and time consuming. To overcome this limitation, the proposed framework automates the creation of safety models such as FHA and FTA by utilizing the Requirement, Functional, Logical, and Physical (RFLP) systems engineering paradigm. The framework supports three main activities. First, the safety targets are determined by performing a FHA of the architecture and the Requirements view is updated. Second, compliance with the safety requirements is analyzed using dynamic fault trees, automatically generated from the Logical view. Interactive visualization techniques are proposed to interpret the safety results, e.g. highlighting the greatest contributors to the probability of failure. Third, an algorithm is developed that enables the designer to interactively improve the architecture’s safety by introducing more reliable components or increasing redundancy. The concept is illustrated with a representative example, where the environmental control system of a civil aircraft is studied from a safety point of view.en_UK
