A practical approach to failure mode, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) for computing systems
James Carlin Becker, Glenn Flick · 2002
The paper presents an approach developed and used for Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) of a distributed computing system for air traffic control. The concepts, benefits, failure mode classifications, FMECA process and conclusions are summarized. The concept of failure mode criticality and its assessment for system safety is also addressed.
