Abstract

Establishing liabilities in component-based systems is a challenging task, as it requires to establish convincing evidence with respect to the occurrence of a fault, and the causality relation between the fault and a damage. The second issue is especially complex when several faults are detected and the impact of these faults on the occurrence of the failure has to be assessed. In this paper we propose a formal framework for reasoning about logical causality between contract violations.
