Abstract

We present Galileo, a dynamic fault tree modeling and analysis tool that combines the innovative DIF-Tree analysis methodology with a rich user interface built using package-oriented programming. DIFTree integrates binary decision diagram and Markov meth-ods under the common notation of dynamic fault trees, allowing the user to exploit the benefits of both tech-niques while avoiding the need to learn additional no-tations and methodologies. Package-oriented pro-gramming (POP) is a software architectural style in which large-scale software packages are used as com-ponents, exploiting their rich functionality and famili-arity to users. Galileo can be obtained for free under license for evaluation, and can be downloaded from the World-Wide Web.
