Reliability Modeling Using UML

Overview Most reliability modeling techniques are based on reliability block diagrams, fault trees, Markov chains and various other elements. Such formalisms may not be familiar to system architects, product managers and software developers. They normally use other high level notations such as Unified Modeling Language (UML) to describe the behaviors and aspects of computing systems. Consequently, there is inevitably a gap between the design process and reliability modeling that system designers are facing. This paper proposes a method, modeling framework and proof-of-concept tool that will attempt to fill the gap.
