About
About the course
Course content
The subject is given every second year. The next time is autumn 2010.
The content of the course will be adjusted to the background and need for the PhD students following the course. Presentation and discussion of safety critical functions with a special focus on the IEC61508 standard. Models and methods for quantification of the reliability of safety critical functions. Use of Monte Carlo simulation. Reliability of multistate systems. Reliability of societal critical infrastructure.
Learning outcome
By taking this course the student will (i) get insight into the various types of safety critical systems and the requirements to such systems, (ii) get knowledge on how to find the reliability of safety critical systems, and (iii) learn to use Monte Carlo simulation methods for reliability quantification of multi-state, network structure etc.
