Abstract
A problem-independent concept for the reliability analysis of complex systems is presented. A method of system reliability analysis which is based on a selection of generally applicable mathematical models and computer programs for efficient numerical evaluation of the models emerges from this concept. A general safety model based on the same reliability analysis techniques and procedures is presented. A case study shows the application of the safety models and the methods of reliability analysis.
