A Study on Modeling for Optimized Allocation of Fault Coverage

Fault Coverage 요구사항 최적할당을 위한 모델링에 관한 연구

Faults detection and containment requirements are typically allocated from a top-level specification as a percentage of total faults detection and containment, weighted by failure rate. This faults detection and containments are called as a fault coverage. The fault coverage requirements are typically allocated identically to all units in the system, without regard to complexity, cost of implementation or failure rate for each units. In this paper a simple methodology and mathematical model to support the allocation of system fault coverage rates to lower-level units by considering the inherent differences in reliability is presented. The models are formed as a form of constrained optimization. The objectives and constraints are modeled as a linear form and this problems are solved by linear programming. It is identified by simulation that the proposed solving methods for these problems are effective to such requirement allocating.
