There is today a wide range of pubLications avaiLabLe on the theory
of reLiabiLity and the technique of ProbabiListic Safety AnaLysis
(PSA). To pLace this work properLy in this context, we must recaLL
a basic concept underLying both theory and technique, that of
redundancy. ReLiabiLity is something which can be designed into a
system, by the introduction of redundancy at appropriate points.
John Von Neumann's historic paper of 1952 'ProbabiListic Logics and
the Synthesis of ReLiabLe Organisms from UnreLiabLe Components" has
served as inspiration for aLL subsequent work on systems
reLiabiLity. This paper sings the praises of redundancy as a means
of designing reLiabiLity into systems, or, to use Von Neumann's
words, of minimising error. Redundancy, then, is a fundamentaL
characteristic which a designer seeks to buiLd in by using
appropriate structuraL characteristics of the 'modeL" or
representation which he uses for his work. But any modeL is
estabLished through a process of de Limination and decomposition.
FirstLy, a "Universe of Discourse" is delineated; its component
eLements are then separated out; and moreover in a probabiListic
framework for each eLement each possibLe state is defined and
assigned an appropriate possibiLity measure caLLed probability.
