Abstract
Bayesian Network (BN)-based methods are increasingly used in system reliability analysis. While BNs enable to perform multiple analyses based on a single model, the construction of robust BN models relies either on the conversion from other intermediate system model structures or direct analyst-led development based on experts input, both requiring significant human effort. This article proposes an architecture model-based approach for the direct generation of a BN model. Given the architectural model of a system, a systematic bottom-up approach is suggested, underpinned by failure behaviour models of components composed based on interaction models to create a system-level failure behaviour model. Interoperability and reusability of models are supported by a library of component failure models. The approach was illustrated with application to a case study of a steam boiler system.
