  • Abstract
    Several additional computer codes that evaluate a fault tree directly are described. One of the codes is written in PL/1, and uses techniques of pattern-recognition and list-processing to evaluate fault-tree probabilities. Two other codes illustrate the use of LISP and PROLOG to implement recursive algorithms for the direct evaluation of fault trees.
