This book explains the principles of knowledge structuration to ensure a valid BN and DBN model and illustrate the flexibility and efficiency of these representations in dependability, risk analysis and control of multi-state systems and dynamic systems. Across five chapters, the authors present several modeling methods and industrial applications are referenced for illustration in real industrial contexts.--

Philippe Weber is Professor at the Engineer School of Sciences and Technologies at the University of Lorraine and at the Research Centre for Automatic Control in Nancy, France. His research concerns dependability and is mainly focused on probabilistic graphical models.

Christophe Simon is Associate Professor at the Research Centre for Automatic Control in Nancy, France. His research concerns dependability and is mainly focused on modeling engineering and uncertainties.
