On dependability evaluation of fieldbus networks: a permanent fault analysis

The paper focus dependability modelling and evaluation of fieldbus networks in the presence of permanent faults. Several architectures are analysed, considering different operating modes, topologies and fault types. Two measures of dependability are evaluated: reliability and asymptotic unavailabili...
